HEAD TO HEAD - Jason Krejza v Cameron White

Well, after The Balls persuaded the selectors to do away with McGain it is only fair that we compare Krezjy Eyes with the new next in line - Cameron "The Greatest Man In The History Of Everything" White.

MC Gregor - Ok, this is the debate that neither of The Balls wanted...yet here we are. Let me begin. My left nut has more spinning talent than Cameron White will ever have. He looks like a fat Paul Collingwood, and his very presence in the team is an insult to every Australian citizen - current, present and future.

Mix Master D - And yet he offers more than your man Krejzy eyes. He has international experience, has been captain of a successful domestic side for about 15 years and most importantly, provides Australia with a genuine first slipper.

MC Gregor - His international experience makes me wince. He won't be captaining this side and I suspect Matt the Bat the Run Machine will probably have a few quiet words to you about his position in the slips.Krezy offers...well...umm...to be honest, not much more. So why the hell didn't they go with Beau...or Aaron...or Jrod?

Mix Master D - Matt the Bat the Run Machine can take his two hats and head to gully thanks very much. Look, when you're playing in the sub-continent you'd surely go with a bowler that has similarities to Anil Kumble. I mean we've gone there with the greatest bowler of all time and he struggled (both with the local cuisine and the pitches) so surely there needs to be a change of tactic here. Cam White's bouncy top spinners combined with subtle turn make him the complete opposite of SK Warne. And to use your argument from the Krejzy Eyes v Nice Bryce argument - Cam can bat. And judging by the recent tour match it looks like we'll need to bat as low as possible to post a 300 plus score.

MC Gregor - Huss would take point with being moved from Gully. Good point on the top spinners...except that White can't even do them. He can bat...but if we're picking an ordinary bowler who can bat a bit, why not go with Watto at 7 and put in another batsman. I am in a web of despair. Day is night. To live is to to die. I embrace the end.

Mix Master D – The fact that you're not even mentioning your boys name in your argument suggests that even you - Australia's number 1 Krejzy Eyes fan - is wavering after his dismal effort in the tour match. And Huss can take Symmo's position in the field as funster and Mick Bingle's joking partner. Cam White is the best spin bowler in the Australian squad and provides something which no other Australian spin bowler provides - bounce and subtle (very, very subtle) variation. This is exactly what is needed on dusty turning pitches and the Australian selectors will be rewarded greatly if they pick Cam.

MC Gregor - I believe Krezjy Eyes is his own best fan. The debate is moot. I believe the sight of White in a Baggy Green is a sign that Armageddon is upon us.

Mix Master D - Cameron White would play a good AJ Frost

Damith - Don't feel bad. most people end up seeing sense in my arguments, leaving MC Gregor naked, in the foetal position, crying out for his blankie

It was like choosing whether to have my left or right nut crushed. I feel dirty.

BTW - I can't stay angry at you Damith...you crazy kid!

Bounce and subtle variation.. that's something Roy has with his off-spinners.

Why not fly him over there, it's not like he's played in the ICL or anything.

PS any chance for a link swap to http://beerandsport.blogspot.com/ ?

I'm watching Ronchi bless the world with his presence against NSW - I feel HE could bowl spin better than White.

We shall link swap good sir...
