This is a great interview with Sam Whiteman as it’s another interesting story and as a wicket-keeper Whitey gives you another perspective on the game.  Whiteman was a very good young cricketer who progressed through the ranks in WA cricket to make his first-class debut as an opening batsman at the age of 20. After having a brilliant season for WA 2013-14 Whiteman was selected for Australia A where he went on to score a century against India A And was touted as the next Australia wicket-keeper which he may well be right if it wasn’t for a cruel run of injuries over the past few seasons. In this episode we discussed:  Making his 1st-grade debut at a young age How he made the transition from the country to the city as a teenager How thinking about higher honours caused him to go backwards How he dealt with multiple injury setbacks How he manages his preparation for both keeping and batting What his process and routines are like before matches How he deals with the pressure of big matches Plus a lot more I hope you enjoy this chat with with a highly skilled cricketer and great bloke.
