And now he gets a run as SBS's cricket commentator. He's gone a long way...

I didn't even know that SBS commentated the cricket!

I am yet to be convinced of Cameron White's star status and I have seen a hell of a lot of him. You just have to look at his performances in district cricket and he doesn't even dominate that to prove that he is a long way off being the star he is made out to be. I am not saying he will not become that star, he just isn't there yet. And, don't bother mentioning his batting, that is yet to fire a shot in first class cricket. Now, I know he can bat, but, when he actually starts making first class runs then you can use that argument.

90 on debut is pretty impressive for a bloke that can't bat then. If he had made 90 in a 3rd XI club match in Sydney the selectors would have tagged him as "the next big thing".

I said, I know he can bat, but, his figures don't support that arguement yet. And, making up statistics to support your argument is a pretty silly thing to do. Cameron White made his first class debut against NSW, not SA, and made 11, not 90. The 91 that he made was against SA.

To clear up the situation on Watson:

* He didn't play in the world cup.

* He will play for Tasmania as a batsman only until he starts bowling again in January.

Unfortunately you're spot on. He's still at the Cricket Academy over here in Adelaide. He really came on in the World Cup (I think he played in it.. or have I got my wires crossed?) and I was looking forward to seeing more of him this summer but then he did his back again.

He made a pretty bloody good effort in that game against the Sri-Lankans where Jayasuria and Da Silva were flogging us all over the place, he ended up with 4 or 5 wickets from memory.
