Re: Cam White = brillant feildsman.

Kumble.

Always found that comparsion stupid, the only thing they're similar on is that they're tall and with a high arm action. Apart from that, White's control is nowhere near half of Anil's, and his wrong'un is nowhere near as good

In fact, White has gone backwards as a bowler since I first saw him 3 years ago. At the time his arm was very high, and he was at least effective then since he had some sort of control, now I think he's listening to the unhelpful advice of earbashers, and trying to change his bowling to more like, say, Warnie's, than Kumble's. That's why he's struggling to cope

His bowling would struggle in 4th grade...

Re: Cam White = brillant feildsman.

whites only 22

he is in a team with a good set of bowlers and probably gives everyone else first crack.

his bowling average is in the mid 30s but at 22 he is really in on potential more than actual form.

Yep, definitely. But I think his performances with Australia A (with the bat, he's done nothing with the ball) is what has got him into the side. I think he made 3 50's out of 5 digs for Aus A.

As captain, he might need to bowl himself more (or give the captaincy to someone else).

Re: Cam White = brillant feildsman.

Pity he cant bat or bowl

Re: Cam White = brillant feildsman.

Good/great fieldsman. Not brilliant. Not as good as clarke, or ponting a few years ago.

However White is capable in slips, and also in the infield.

He is versatile.

You ever seen Clarke in the slips?

Yes, and he dropped everything that came near him

White - Over rated by Victorian Under Rated by everyone else.

Re: Cam White = brillant feildsman.

Someone is forgetful

Clarke started off a terrible fieldsman, dropped about 3 catches in his first test I reckon. Now he's obviously one of the best fieldsmen in the world, and has clearly put it all behind him. Let's hope Pietersen doesn't follow his lead.

 

[Power21]

Re: Cam White = brillant feildsman.

Kumble.

Kumble used to be a medium pacer though. Anyway they guy is a hack, its clear he wont make the test team because he simply isnt good enough, i have never rated him and never will.

He dropped 2 screamers if you remember. He was never terrible and was a prodigous athlete in the field from the time he made the nsw squad at 18.

Actually, so did White.

Kumble could control the ball after 50 first class game.

Kumble's made his Test debut long before 22

He was always a very good young promising leggie, it just took time for him to be successful, as it does with all leggies

All the great young leggies show you something at an young age that would tell you that they're gonna make it, White's bowling has never had anything special to suggest that

Yes, but with Daniel Cullen's Cricket Australia contract, being in his second season and tearing it up in domestic cricket (especially one-dayers) his future doesn't look too good.

Thats the nice way of putting it.

White can't bowl for ********.

Thats the simple way of putting it.

There is room in the test side for cullen and white.

also probably before the emergence of McGrath as a great fast bowler, Warne had a lot of success bowler, Warne bowled well with Tim May. Although Mays figures dont show it, he was a very good foil for warne I think.

White has two major problems ATM, he leaks runs worse than Brett Lee, and he doesn't bowl himself enough.

he really needs to bowl 20 overs at least every FC match, and bring himself in earlier, instead of giving everyone else first crack at the batsmen.

he also needs to tighten up on his loose balls.

Yes thats all well and good Dan ...but wouldn't it be nice if he could actually turn a ball ??

Kerry Okeefe was talking about how he was working with white but because of his action there is no way he could turn the ball and that it wasnt viable to get him to change his action.

Maybe he should just become an adam dale style bowler

Screamers? lol

On batting alone for the test side?

David Hooks thought so. As do I.

Yay or Nay?
