I've never understood why White was not considered as a Test Match player. He seems to be so consistently destructive in one dayers and is a bit of a leader too. I know his leggies aren't great but they are worth a few overs and I would definitely bat him 6.
Is it that he cannot play short pitch bowling ?
Nah I think he can handle the short stuff. Problem is he's not from New South.
He is definitely a leader, having captained Victoria since he was 20, during which they have become the strongest state team over the last 3-4 years. Also an excellent fielder.
The problem is that people think he should be an all-rounder, when really he is just a very good batsman. His first class numbers over the last 3 seasons are 49.86, 57.75, 47.00, the numbers of not just an impatient slogger, but then he also has that ability to take the game away Gilchrist style.
Forget the bowling, as captain he shows zero confidence in his own bowling and hasn't bowled himself for years. Apparently he almost never bowls in net sessions either.
But no, North is better.
