Cameron White's batting: Cameron White is purely an eye player. Has no footwork and relies on his natural timing and good eye to slog runs. Only good on flat tracks, not reliable, is an okay one day batsman. White will never get into the test side with his poor batting technique, and maybe the selector Merv Hughes is trying to make up for the lack of Victorians in the Australian side . He's a short-term replacement for an injured Shane Watson. He should be over-taken by another Victorian all-rounder by the name of McDonald, who has averaged over 100 with the bat in this domestic season so far. White gets a lot of silly hype, probably because he has blond hair like Shane.

Bowling: He chucks down pies and hardly turns the ball. Both Gilchrist and Ponting have more faith in Michael Clarke's bowling than White's.

His fielding is good.

Overall, White is 'meh' value so far. He has a lot of work to do, on both his batting and bowling, if he wants to be a permanent member of the Australian side.
