White targets whitewash as Ashes revenge
CAMERON White believes Australia can serve up the perfect Ashes revenge – a 7-0 NatWest Series whitewashing of England.
White, whose hundred at the Rose Bowl on Wednesday was instrumental in the Australians going three matches up, has been one of the players of the series to date. Despite 200 runs in three innings, however, he will lose his place in the order to captain Ricky Ponting for the fourth match at Lord's tomorrow.
"At the moment if we keep playing good, consistent cricket, keep bowling and fielding well, there is no reason why not," said White, who hit 105 in the six-wicket floodlit win. "In saying that, winning seven one-dayers against a really good side is a pretty strange thing to happen. But I am not saying that it can't.
"We want to keep the momentum going and I don't think we are playing at our total best at the moment.
"There are still probably some areas that we think we can improve in, so there are things we need to work on to get better for these four games.
"Then come four games' time we are hopefully at our peak."
If that happens, Australia would be heading into the Champions Trophy in perfect fettle.
