Wade has a fractured collarbone

I guess it depends what they mean by "broken". If it's just a small hairline fracture or something, it might not keep him out for long.
Would be interesting, if he's out for an extended time, who is picked as the ODI keeper.

I don't see the point of Nevill in the ODI team. May as well give a young guy like Whiteman, who may grow into a good 50 over player, a shot.

Good point. I'll change the title to "fractured". I was going by the radio and Twitter reports before I read the article properly. However, it sounds like they're still not sure how bad it is

I thought according to official medical lingo these days that any 'fracture' is automatically deemed a break. it's like fracture doesn't exist
Dean Jones just said that it was caused by a mishap with one of those throw-down sticks. The guy apparently sent down a beamer that hit him in the collarbone

The modern day WA supporters are worse than the old school Victorian ones. Whiteman, please. 62 runs at 15 in the matador and a career average of 22 with a strike rate in the 60s and they are pushing him up for Australian selection.

Who are the other options? Nevill averages around the same. Paine? Dunk?
Whoever we choose will be dead average.

Dunk should fill in. He is not a specialist so you wouldn't pick him long term but a few games as fill in in a meaningless period you have to reward his form over the last few seasons in the shorter forms.
I don't see the point of putting Whiteman in the ODI side yet (at least during the home summer). There's a long way until the next WC, he can come in two years from now without jeopardising his WC preparation. In the meantime he is are better off in the Shield, doing long form work.
That said the early ODIs are on while the BBL is on, so I guess bringing him into the ODI set up then isn't a bad move.

Most people on BigFooty wouldn't even watch the Matador Cup.
Whiteman's name is being thrown up because he is young, keeps well & strikes at 100+ in the Big Bash.
He's no different to any BigFooty test aspirant in that regard.
inb4 some posters suggest Jake Doran
I'd probably give Dunk a go.

He would be batting at 8 though.
It'd be more an opportunity to blood him than anything else

I think this has proven that Wade is the standout ODI wicket keeper, can't think of any one else who really deserves the position.
Nevill couldn't get a game for the Renegades last year, Whiteman isn't really suited to the shorter forms, Hartley would be lucky to have a SR above 50, Ludeman is so bad it's not even funny and Dunk doesn't wicket keep. Would probably pick Dunk because of his matador form, but not sure how he would go against an old ball. Honestly wouldn't surprise me if they chose Ryan Carters.

Because with Faulkner back he'll bat at 8. You don't select your number 8 based on his batting
Personally I'd opt for Nevill though.

Ben Dunk in the ODI team??
How the * do you fracture a collarbone getting throwdowns anyway?

How did Paine do in the Matador Cup? Seem to recall him getting some runs at some point.
If he's in decent nick, they may as well bring him in given he's got the international experience.
