Great fun to watch, but if you seriously think he looked like anything other than a tailender, you're kidding me.

He was out plumb early, and his head was all oer the shop on a lot of shots.

Yep, 45 off 32 in the late overs, who'd want that?

Yep tailenders do that all the time.

Thats why they all average 45 isnt it?

What the ******** do you expect from him, seriously. You're never bloody pleased are you! 45 off 32.

Here's White's chance.

10 good overs to show us what he's worth in one-dayers. Average attack, good platform.

Never a better opportunity.

Go Whitey.

He took that chance.

 

[Rocky Rambo]

I suppose Andrew Symonds looks like a tailender too?

 

[just maybe]

White doesn't average 45.

 

[dont bowl there]

Answer the criticism, can the abuse.

I have reported your post.

You cannot talk rationally about White, any criticism and you hurl abuse.

The guy plays a great ODI innings and yet you still bag him. Im not the biggest fan of White but i can admit that he batted very well today.

Kudos to White for doing the job - but how the White-lovers can froget the plumb LBW or his head all over the place as he caught edges is beyond me. Even the commentators noted it.

That's not good technique. You are wrong if you say it is. Keeping your head still is one of the basics of a good technique.

So no batsman has ever got a decision to go his way before?

 

[Bentleigh]

The great man saves Australia. Gets us to a decent total.

Supurb stuff by White.

I agree, everytime the batsman gets a lucky decision he should be immediately dropped. Outstanding logic.

This is the final 5 overs of a ODI match, not a crunch time in a test match facing a good pace battery.

Symonds has a terrible technique, yet hes considered one of the best ODI batters in the world. Gilchrists technique isnt sound either, yet hes probably the greatest all-rounder batsman to ever live.

Theres a reason White is considered one of the best young ODI players in the world at the moment, and dropping his head when he puts a ball out of the ground off of one of the best quicks in the world isnt going to dispell the plaudits.


Your pissed off that Cosgrove isnt in there instead

You are probably one of the few people in Australia that support there state over their country.

 

[Bentleigh]

he got tonked because he is a very very average bowler and a great batsman, the sooner you get over the fact the sooner we can take you seriously...

White is a good-mid level bowler.

He is not the best going around, he is far from the worst.

Had a solid ODD season with the ball.

Fact is, he's really not all that bad a bowler.

 

[Bentleigh]

I cannot believe the people who still think White can bowl. He is simply not up to it. It is time for White to throw the bowling in the bin and just concentrate on making 100s. It's the only way he will enjoy a long 1st class career. If he is being picked on all-round abilities, pretty soon the selectors will look for someone else because his "bowling" is garbage. If White couldn't bat, he'd be tossing them down in a B Grade district match somewhere.

White reminds me a little of Ian Chappell. For years Chappell thought himself to be a pretty good leg spinner, and he was handy. Certainly a better bowler than White because he could actually loop and spin the ball. But in all honesty, his bowling was crap at Test level. Once he got a few spankings and gave the bowling away, he became one of the best Test batsmen in the world. Take note, White.

He looked like an outstanding batsman

 

[larrikin]

I don't think the question has ever being over his batting - he's a good hitter as a late innings player.

His bowling is just not up to international standard

 

[Bentleigh]

Kudos to White for doing the job - but how the White-lovers can froget the plumb LBW or his head all over the place as he caught edges is beyond me. Even the commentators noted it.

Geez, cricket would be a very difference game if we took into account moment when batsman didn't get given when they should have.

Funny how we apply this to White and not every other batsman in the game.

Perhaps your hate of the great man is becomming abit to clear for all to see?

That's not good technique. You are lying if you say it is. Keeping your head still is one of the basics of a good technique.

Did I hear the great and wonder commentators note he had outstanding technique because he does keep his head still instead of charging down the pitch all over the place?

From memory, it was when he hit the 6 out of the stadium.

 

[just maybe]

You are probably one of the few people in Australia that support there state over their country.

Aside from the vulgar use of 'idiot', the rest of what you've written is complete crap, considering I've just explained that Cosgrove shouldn't be in the side.

 

[just maybe]

Fact is, he's really not all that bad a bowler.

Of course he is. He's rubbish.

White was absolutely and completely plumb. It wasn't marginal. He didn't get dropped.

He actually should have been out.

If you don't think he played that ball terribly, you've got a problem.

Did I hear the great and wonder commentators note he had outstanding technique because he does keep his head still instead of charging down the pitch all over the place?

No, you didn't. They didn't say that. Lawry said he kept his head still at the crease, then got contradicted when White took some wild swings with his head all over the place.

From memory, it was when he hit the 6 out of the stadium.

Lawry has been known to overexaggerate. A bit like you really.

 

[Bentleigh]

Of course he is. He's rubbish.

I see you just hurl personal abuse and have no response to the criticism.

As usual from the White-haters, hype is not tempered by reality.

 

[ManWithNoName]

White wasn't plumb at all. He was a fair way down and got hit high on the pad.

 

[just maybe]

I see you just hurl personal abuse and have no response to the criticism.

Where did I hurl personal abuse? What criticism didn't I respond to?

As usual from the White-haters, hype is not tempered by reality.[/I]

I am tempering the hype. He is OK, but he's not that good. Nowhere near as good as you claim.

 

[Catman]

Who needs Watson now?

 

[just maybe]

White wasn't plumb at all. He was a fair way down and got hit high on the pad.

He was absolutely and completely bloody plumb.

This is the most stupid, biased call I've ever heard.

It wasn't even a marginal Hawkeye. It was straight through the middle. Not going over, not going down. Absolutely, utterly plumb. All the commentators were in agreement.

 

[Bentleigh]

He wasn't out. Regardless of what your hate of the lad tells you.

A 50/50 call that went the batsmans way. Happens dozens of times a game.

If it happened to Ponting, Hussey or Gilchrsit (which it does) you don't say boo. And yet you feel the need to highlight Whites one?

No, you didn't. They didn't say that. Lawry said he kept his head still at the crease, then got contradicted when White took some wild swings with his head all over the place.

Lawry has been known to overexaggerate. A bit like you really.

Actully, they did talk White up for "keeping his head still" instead of comming out of his crease, which increases his chances of being able to tonk the ******** out of the ball.

Perfect technique - which of course means nothing in the town of Adelaide because he apparently 'looks like a Tailender', dispite getting Australia to a decent total twice in a week.

I find it intersting how when the commentators say something you like it's bible, and when they say something you disagree with they have "been known to overexaggerate".

Funny that.
