SIMON Katich is a hairy man and he is not afraid to show it.

So much so the in-form Test opener even had a crack at his Australian teammates for their lack of body hair in the 2009 Men of Cricket calendar.

"I think you will see I am the only guy there with some hair on my chest," he said with a smile.

"Unfortunately the rest of my team are all metrosexuals.

"They don't have any hair on their bodies but I thought I would stand up for the older generation of players that are used to having a bit of body hair."

Katich joked that he was Mr February because it was "the shortest month in the year".

All proceeds from the calendar go to the McGrath Foundation to fund breast cancer nurses, primarily in rural Australia.
