"He performed unbelievably well," Cameron White, the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 captain, said. "He is 18 years old and was playing at the Bullring, probably under the most pressure you can come across in the international game. He would have learned a lot from the last couple
of overs, we all did. He can hold his head high, he is a fantastic prospect."
With a bright future ahead, the next task for the pacer will be to impress http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Clarke-c1978, the Kangaroo ODI and Test skipper, and make a positive step forward in his cricketing career. The main aim for him should be to achieve longevity in the longer version
