One of the things he does well when he is bowling well and getting wickets is drift the ball. I dont think he will ever be a big spinner of the ball, but i dont think that means he cant be effective. As you've said if he can tighten up on his accuracy he should be a handy bowler.FaaipDeOiad said:If White can just learn to be reasonably accurate, the fact that he's quite flat and quick and has a good wrong'un means that he could be quite economical and therefore with his batting a very good ODI player. Pretty much ideal for a number 7 in ODIs. Right now he's fairly expensive as well as not taking many wickets though, so he's got a lot of work to do.
How can he have "convinced you" when you are in England where there is, to the best of my knowledge, no TV coverage?aussie said:oh yes Australia A are well in charge 273/7 & at this stage have the Pakistani's 90/6.
Jaques has convinced me that he should be next in line if big Mat fails, White has impressed seriously with the bat while his bowling has been so superb, Watson all-round performances have been promising & Bracken has looked good wih the ball.
Well if that was the only time I'd ever seen him bat...aussie said:hey i've seen Lara had problems againts Ponting's medium pace but we dont doubt his ability has a batsman now dont we
When was that then?aussie said:hey i've seen Lara had problems againts Ponting's medium pace but we dont doubt his ability has a batsman now dont we

He wasn't the only one throughout the tournament. Cullen, Watson, White & Johnson all got hit about a bit at various times.andyc said:Geez, Hopes got caned, 3 overs 1/27!
true but refering to Hopes i reckon he can become a pretty economical ODI bowler, i remember him vs NZ earlier this year & he was very tidy with his line & lenght so i have faith in him.Mister Wright said:He wasn't the only one throughout the tournament.

Exactly. One time getting hit around is not something to laugh about nor criticize. Every bowler in ODI cricket has been hit around every now & then. Even the best.aussie said:true but refering to Hopes i reckon he can become a pretty economical ODI bowler, i remember him vs NZ earlier this year & he was very tidy with his line & lenght so i have faith in him.
