Cricket Tragic Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 Cameron White has been dropped from Australia's ODI squad but remains captain of the Twenty20 side for the upcoming tour of Sri Lanka. Australia have named the players for the one-day and T20 part of the trip, with Shaun Marsh back in the one-day side alongside the fast bowler Doug Bollinger. The Twenty20 squad has a slightly youthful feel, with the Victoria batsman Aaron Finch in alongside the left-arm spinner Steve O'Keefe, and the fast man James Pattinson. The major omission from the one-day outfit was that of White, who struggled at the World Cup and was dropped midway through the Bangladesh series. Andrew Hilditch, the chairman of selectors, said he was confident White could force his way back into the side. "Cameron White is unlucky to be omitted from the one-day squad having been a regular and successful member of the squad for the last few series," Hilditch said. "Cameron lost his position in the side during the recent one-day tour of Bangladesh but the national selection panel is confident that he will force his way back into the team through weight of runs. "The one-day squad sees the return of Shaun Marsh who was unavailable for the ICC Cricket World Cup through injury. Shaun can open the batting but also provides flexibility throughout the order and gives the squad great balance." Australia will play two T20s, five ODIs and three Test during the tour of Sri Lanka. The Twenty20 players fly out on July 30 and the remaining one-day squad members depart on August 5. The Test squad will be announced later in July. Meanwhile, Phillip Hughes and Jason Krejza have flown to Zimbabwe early to join the Australia squad, to replace Nic Maddinson (calf strain) and Matthew Wade (back) ahead of Friday's final one-day game.

Sachin=GOD Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 Camerron White hasn't turned out to be one of those players who perform very well in domestic cricket but usually fail in International cricket.

Crookbond Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 Cameron White dropped from ODI squad ESPN Cricinfo http://es.pn/n7d1BM Cameron White has described his demotion from Australia's ODI squad as a "kick in the guts", but he remains captain of the Twenty20 side for the upcoming tour of Sri Lanka. Australia have named the players for the one-day and T20 part of the trip, with Shaun Marsh back in the one-day side alongside the fast bowler Doug Bollinger. The major omission from the one-day outfit was that of White, who lost form across the last home summer, struggled at the World Cup and was dropped midway through the Bangladesh series. For all that, he did not expect to be missing when the ODI squad was announced. "Obviously disappointing but the situation's been known and there's not much you can do about it, other than go back, get better and hope to get another opportunity at some stage," White said. "It is no secret I haven't been in the best of form of late but I was hopeful I would still be in the squad. It's definitely a kick in the guts." Now faced with the possibility of becoming a T20 specialist, white said he would be working doubly hard to return to the ODI arena. "I don't have a lot of cricket for a little while now," he said. "Outside of a couple of T20 games I will be back playing for Victoria and scoring as many runs as I can. I just have to go back and get better and hopefully get another opportunity at some stage. "T20 is such a different game and moving towards having specialist players, [but] I am not saying I am in that boat," Andrew Hilditch, the chairman of selectors, said he was confident White could force his way back into the side. "Cameron White is unlucky to be omitted from the one-day squad having been a regular and successful member of the squad for the last few series," Hilditch said. "Cameron lost his position in the side during the recent one-day tour of Bangladesh but the national selection panel is confident that he will force his way back into the team through weight of runs. "The one-day squad sees the return of Shaun Marsh who was unavailable for the ICC Cricket World Cup through injury. Shaun can open the batting but also provides flexibility throughout the order and gives the squad great balance." James Pattinson's inclusion was despite Ryan Harris' return to fitness following injury, flagging the older fast man's likely role as a Test match specialist this summer. The Australian captain Michael Clarke said Pattinson had improved his strength and fitness over the off-season. "He looks much fitter and stronger even than he was in Bangladesh and he did pretty well over there, so he's got a big future," Clarke said. "He bowls high 140s, his control's going to get better with experience and plenty of practice, I see a bright future for him. To be around experienced bowlers like Brett [Lee], no doubt he can learn a lot from him." Shaun Tait has lost his place after retiring from 50-over duty following the World Cup, and was not picked for T20 duty though he remains available for matches in the shortest format. David Hussey returns to the squads after missing Bangladesh to be home for the birth of his first child, leaving no room for Callum Ferguson. The Twenty20 squad has a slightly youthful feel, with the Victoria batsman Aaron Finch in alongside the left-arm spinner Steve O'Keefe and Pattinson. Australia will play two T20s, five ODIs and three Test during the tour of Sri Lanka. The Twenty20 players fly out on July 30 and the remaining one-day squad members depart on August 5.

Pagalpanti Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 I think it might as well be the end of his ODI career. He has been pretty awful against spinners for quite sometime now, even against Kenyan spinners :hehe:
Cricket Tragic Posted July 6, 2011 Author Posted July 6, 2011 If O'Keefe does well, he might replace the X man in the ODI team. Dussey obviously knows some of the selector's dirty secrets.
Ultimate_Game Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 He should have been dropped much earlier. He was a flop in the WC and hasn't done much in ages.
Switchblade Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 Australian tour to Sri Lanka, 2011 No Ferguson In The One Day Squad ?
phaedrus Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 He should have been dropped much earlier. He was a flop in the WC and hasn't done much in ages. wasnt he had made vice captain at one stage of his career? never really understood how a player like him could be given such a position. one of those players who did well in australia but nowhere else
Feed Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 Clarke, Ponting invalided out of practice match NEW Australia cricket captain Michael Clarke's chronic back issue has put the focus on L-plate leader Shane Watson earlier than expected. More... Clarke, Ponting invalided out of practice match Daniel Brettig July 13, 2011 Shane Watson is a back spasm away from the Australian captaincy. This truth was underlined in Brisbane on the final day of the national team's training camp, when Michael Clarke was forced to retire hurt following a recurrence of a chronic back problem while batting in a practice match against a Queensland XI. Watson led the Australians in the afternoon as Clarke reclined at the boundary's edge, accompanied in repose by Ricky Ponting, who missed the fixture due to calf soreness. While neither are in any doubt for their Test and ODI tasks on the tour of Sri Lanka in August, their ailments provided a reminder that Clarke will face back problems for the remainder of his career, while at 36 Ponting is no longer a young man. Tim Nielsen, Australia's coach, said Clarke and Ponting were being cautiously managed. "[Clarke] pulled up a little stiff which is why he retired and we're just going to take the opportunity to get everybody out there," Nielsen told AAP. "[Ponting] has had a bit of a sore calf as well which we're just being careful about. Really it's a training day for us and, if these guys were like this at training, we wouldn't expect them to train so we certainly won't put them through the fielding." Clarke has faced intermittent back problems through his career, most recently struggling during the final Sheffield Shield match before the first Ashes Test last year, in which he appeared restricted, though he denied it had been a problem. As for Watson, Nielsen said he was ready and able to assume the top job whenever Clarke was not feeling capable of fulfilling his duties. "Very much so. Selectors don't just give people the vice-captaincy with the thought you deserve it because you played well," Nielsen said. "It's an idea that if something does happen to the captain, who is the person we feel can take over the reins and do a good job? "We can't forget that we have people with the experience of [brad] Haddin and Ponting still around the team and, I'm sure if Shane needs to, he will lean on them pretty strongly, and also Michael Hussey. While he's the nominated one and probably giving him the opportunity is a longer-term view, he certainly won't be on his own out there if he captains the side. "Most importantly he understands that he's there as a support structure there for Michael. He does take on a bit more respect naturally just through the fact he's a nominated leader now rather than being a senior player, but he's always been one of those guys who is willing to put his point of view across to the team and work hard with the group. In the last 12 to 18 months he's certainly taken on more and more respect in that area." Australia's batsmen fared well enough at Allan Border Field, with David Hussey (76) and his brother Michael (46) among the runs, along with Shaun Marsh (47). However, the Sri Lankan slow bowlers will warm to the sight of young Queensland spinner Jason Floros returning the figures of 4 for 25 against batsmen soon to be playing at venues including Kandy, Colombo and Galle.
Chandan Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 What is L-plate? L-Plate leader :hmmm: Think it means the the L sign put on the cars of new drivers who are learning their trades.
deepak_sach Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 Think it means the the L sign put on the cars of new drivers who are learning their trades. :omg: Looks like he watched 3-Idiots (remember 'definition of machine'),making a simple thing complicated...:hysterical:
Cricketics Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 The Australia tour of Sri Lanka I know we have a big series against ENgland starting in few days, but I am really looking forward to this series as well. It will be interesting to see how Aussies do in Lanka. At home, Lanka should start favorites to draw the series atleast, but Aussies aren't that bad. This shall be a really good series. Hard fought. Michael Clarke will lead them and Dilshan will lead the Lankans. Thats two new captains right there. :two_thumbs_up:
Ultimate_Game Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 SL are in for a rude shock. They don't have Murali to fall back on and it will hurt them big time. If Aus had a half-decent spinner in their ranks or anyone even close to Suart MacGill's talent, they would be favorites to win the series.
ganeshran Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 Will be a great series. Both teams are comparatively weaker than they were 1-2 years ago. Would be interesting to see how SL exploit home advantage
Sir_Afridi Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 Hopefully SL thrash Aus so that Aussies lose more ranking points and Usman Khawaja becomes man of series. Ek teer say do shikaar
