An action man of an allrounder, White only became an integral member of the
England side after blacking out mysteriously in a street in Scarborough in
May 2000. He recovered, attacked the game as if each day might be his last,
and, almost overnight, became England's fulcrum at No. 7 or 8, although he
has consistently been found out - like so many others - by the Australians.
His batting is all about aggression, and he loves the challenge of launching
the spinners over extra cover and sweeping them high over midwicket. Against
the quicks he likes to hook, and isn't afraid of getting forward - even on
the dodgiest pitches. His bowling relies on a muscular shoulder action and
plenty of reverse swing at a decidedly nippy pace which he struggled to
maintain as injuries took their toll. When White first played for England,
it seemed that Ray Illingworth's Yorkshire bias had overstepped the bounds
of decency. But in 2000-01 on the subcontinent, England wondered how they
got by without him, and in December 2001 he hit a stirring first Test
hundred in the heat and dust of Ahmedabad. He finally batted well against
the Aussies at Melbourne in 2002-03 ... and then revealed he'd ripped a rib
muscle while bowling the day before. England waited until the last possible
moment for him to prove his fitness for the 2003 World Cup, testament to his
perceived pivotal allround role. But he again broke down, and injury limited him to nine domestic appearances as a specialist batsman. He was appointed captain of Yorkshire in 2004, but it proved a disappointing year for the club, with their worst showing for 12 years, and for White himself, with just seven appearances this time. The following year was much brighter for the county, with White leading them back to the Championship's top flight, but he quit as captain at the end of 2006 after Yorkshire narrowly avoided going straight back down.
