White is going at 10 an over for his 20/20 career. One of Leicestershire most improving and most effective bowlers in the 4 day format, but in limited over cricket he is too expensive especially 20/20. They could of got away with him not bowling yesterday and for sure he shouldn't have bowled the 7th over.
To be fair though I would play White, as batsman and fielder in 20/20 still though. He needs to get his economy rate down to around 8 even better around 7.
I think there is a lot to be said for opening with a spinner sometimes. The less pace the better, it stops batsman from charging the bowler during the powerplay and the batsman has to generate the pace themselves.
Yes in the 4 day game, batsmen will generally play balls on their merit and also let quite a lot of stuff go by outside the off stump. In the shorter formats ,White has been earmarked as one of those bowlers that 'has to go'. On Friday it didn't take much brains to work out that it was wise to open with bowlers who would take pace off the ball.White is going at 10 an over for his 20/20 career.
