I'm sure he has 1, just like Hodge has 1 aswell.

He does have a contract but he has'nt proformed well enough to be holding one.

i dont understand why clarke is this great young prospect of world cricket has everyone forgotton about the captain of the world XI side, Smith the the same age as clarke and he has already accomplished so much.

[Beny]

People often forget how old Smith is and the fact that nobody likes him does'nt help his cause either.

But in terms of emerging talent Clarke is one of the best going around.

ive watched Cameron White make a district ton when he was at dandenong and he was brilliant one of the dandy guys who was the opening bowler for victoria at the time said that he will play for australia and oneday may be captain. he is such a clean hitter of the ball, his bowling will be very useful all around the world but when he goes to say india, sri lanka or pakistan he will dominate, he bowls alot like a Kumble very different from the average australian leg spinner

[Beny]

White bowls too flat and too fast. To be honest, as a bowler he would not even come into calculations for a test spot when the likes of Cullen, Casson e.c.t are all compeating for the same place.

Hooksy said that White's best chance of playing for Australia was as a batsmen and he does have some class. But he rarely makes big scores- he's more around the 50-60 mark and when we look at who's proforming with the bat right now he's got a fair bit to catch up on. Cosgrove, Jaques and Thornely are all good young prospects who have more batting potential than White.

Mabey he'll work into the ODI selections but unless he finds a way to get out of the bit player mould then I can't see him playing a test.

I think that since White is a good young leg spinner who can also bat he will have a future in the one-day side.

When comparing White to Clarke, I would have to say that Clarke is better for the test team but is also a very good one day player. He made a hundred on debut and then in his first test in Australia he also made a hundred. He's quite a good prospect for the future. It's also helpful that he can bowl left arm spinners if needed to and is a very good fieldsman.

[Quagmire]

white will be a far better test player than oneday player, he bowls very similiar to kumble and he will be the leg spinner in a long time that could be in the side as a batsman.

[Beny]

Rowan, it's a poor cliche' that White bowls like Kumble... He's got a simmiler action and that about sums it up. The fact is that on the domestic scene he has failed miserably with the ball and only averages about 35. If you listen to any of the experts they will tell you the same thing... White's bowling is not up to scratch.

In any regard, unlike Kumble he does'nt have a dustbowl to play on.

Far more likely to take the Aussie spin spot is Dan Cullen.

[Zainub]

He can bat very well though, I've seen make a limited overs hundred against Pakistan A. Probably with more consisteny he could get into the one-day side as batsman alone.

Jeez I've been away for to long

First Dan Cullen will never play for Australia

Cameron White will, wether Cameron decides to keep on trying to be a spinner or not is up to him, if not and he solely concentrates on his batting I think he will surpass "Michael Clarke".
Reason : Cameron has natural bat speed (like Gilly) natural power (like Simon O'Donnell) and a good eye.
Considering he spends half his time when not "captaining" Victoria practicing how to spin it like Warnie as well in his busy agenda; I'm surprised I'm even mentioning the Bairnsdale flash in the same breath as Michael Clarke.
Cameron White will become a force in international cricket more likely than not batting which seems to be his forte.
But in a future Australia eleven with possibly four quicks Captain Brett Lee, Shane Harwood, Nathan Bracken and Mitchell Johnston maybe number 6 batter Camerons leg spin will be a usefull tool.
