Cameron White not satisfied with the Wankhede wicket – Cricket News Update
Deccan Chargers' Australian import, Cameron White, who stood in for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Harbhajan-Singh-c61453 that the wicket used was not good for Twenty20 cricket.

"It had a little bit of grass and a little bit of moisture. Wicket is changing here from time to time said Harbhajan...What I understand is that there is a different wicket every time (here). Probably not an ideal Twenty20 wicket, but both teams had to play
on it," said Cameron White, who led the side after Sangakkara decided to drop himself from playing XI to let the best team play in Mumbai conditions.
Commenting on Sanga’s decision to leave himself out of the squad and handing over leadership to him, White said that it was not usual for a captain to keep himself out of the eleven, adding that it was selfless of the Sri Lankan.

the captain,” he added further.
