Cameron White

I agree that when Ponting retires Camron White will be the next captain. He's a fantastic Allrounder for Victoria and scores 100's regularly. They should definatly put him in one of the ashes tests to give him experience for the future. Victorian's have been over looked when selecting for the national side. Only Warne is in the team permantly. Hodge and White deserve a chance to prove themselves.

I think Cameron White will make his way into the One day side before breaking through to the test team and being a huge success.

His bowling isn't anywhere near good enough to worry Test match players so his batting would need to continue developing a fair bit to warrant a place in the team

Well he only managed 15 wickets at over 48 in our apparently rubbish County Championship, so he'd need to get a lot better

I saw him in an ODI here, got a golden duck i belive (brilliant vettori diving catch) and i swear the only ball he slightly turned was his googly, his leggie just went dead straight.

Fear not, when he was bowling regularly, he moved it quite enough. So many people are focussed on how much they can move the ball. Reality is, you only need to move t 2-3 inches to take the edge of a bat.

I've not seen much of White , but he can certainly hit a ball! At 23 , there's plenty of time to make an impact on the international stage - obviously captaincy potential after Ponting retires after this Ashes series defeat!

Ooooooooooooh!!! Very cutting Mik !!

His matrity for such a young man is the most impressive factor about him. He was a slogger who bowled spin and transformed himself into a class bat.

Yeah who is this Cameron white?

His batting would be a joke at test level, he isn't anywhere near good enough! I can see him replacing Michael Clayke or Andrew Symonds if either of them lose form but only then and only in ODI as a guy who can slog in the last few overs and perhaps get a cheap wicket. Nowhere near good enough for test though.

That is a load of crap. The bloke has first class double tons, and other centuries. You need temperament and control to be able to do that. Unless you have seen him play it is hard to judge him.. He can score fast, but he doesn't really take the aerial route, and if he does it is usually over the field, not through it.

So do you believe every single player in the game should be given a Test to see if they are good enough at that level?

No, but White has first class double centuries, and this guy's saying he'd be nowhere near up to test standard. If he can bat for that long to score a double century, I think he has potential to become a Test Player.

I'm talking about a batsman with proper batting skill, you dimwit.
