Developement and Current One Day Side

[Mousey]

My team:
1. Marsh
2. Hopes
3. Ponting
4. Clarke
5. Haddin
6. M. Hussey
7. D. Hussey/White (depending on how the middle/top order performs)
8. Johnson
9. Hauritz
10. Hilfenhaus/Siddle (depending on where we play)
11. Bracken

I like the idea of Haddin up the one day order, get him to play some innings. Hauritz would be a good one day bowler, very restricting, handy bat too. Hilfenhaus and Siddle will fight for the third pace bowler's spot, who will get the spot will depend on the swinger vs. seamer battle. D. Hussey and White to fight for the no 7 spot. If the otp order performs get White out there and he can bowl a couple of overs if needed and smash a quick 40. If they aren't get D. Hussey in to play an innings. He can bowl a bit too so these two are interchangable. If either one, M. Hussey or one of the openers really struggles for form then the one not playing can come in to replace them easily.

Cameron White too often gets smashed. He only has one shot (slog to cow) and the opposition only have to put a fielder on the boundry and 1 out of 3 slogs doesn't go for 6 and he is out.

Katich in one day cricket could be interesting as his batting has improved. I love his batting but I recon bowling a new moving ball just out side of off with a stacked covers and slips would get him out very easily. He seems to be easy to tie down to me.

Hughes has made a lot of runs and is the future. The way i see it one day cricket is a young mans game and a way of developing players for test cricket.

Just saw White bowl in the T20. Took 4 wickets and bowled the biggest load of garbage you will ever see.

cameron white, after watching him bowl in te last two t20's, is now the worst bowler in domestic cricket. when you cant hit the pitch, you shouldnt be bowling for your state. period. CAN bat though.

Yet still got 4 wickets

Either he is out of practice, having trouble gripping it or decided quite smartly that in T20 its better to just toss the ball up and make the batsman make all the power, plus more flight = more bounce

White is a mediocre bowler. Tonight's effort proved it, despite taking four wickets he should be embarassed with that effort. Half his wickets came from rank half-trackers caught on the boundary, that doesn't scream all-rounder to me.

He needs to focus on his batting. White's bowling will be no better than that of a part-time spinner and to be honest he doesn't bowl himself a lot at state level. Rather than trying to become a all-rounder he should focus on getting his batting good enough to try and make the Australian sides as a batter alone. The only form of the game he could do that in at the moment is Twenty20, simply because he can hit the ball a country mile.

He needs to cut his losses now rather than later and get his batting good enough for international level otherwise I can't him having a long international career.

White is limited in in what shots he has, his one shot is a cross bat slog. Simply put one man at cow corner, maby another man out there (more square) and bowl straight at middle stump and bowl spinners as he tends to try and go long and will only hit 1 out of 3 for 6 at best. He's an easy wicket an a costly bowler.

Wow, just 1 shot, its amazing he has ever made runs if he is only ever going to last 3 balls at most, perhaps you should be a State captain as they dont seem to realise how easy it is to get him out..
