White, McGrath and Gillespie trade stories on Darren Lehmann, Shoaib Akhtar — and the day Shane Warne needed putting in his place
Craig White, the former England fast bowler, delivered several gems on the Fast Bowling Cartel podcast this week, recalling some of the more colourful moments from a career that took him from Victorian youth cricket all the way to the Test arena.
Perhaps the most memorable involved his brother-in-law, Darren Lehmann. Heading into a Test in Brisbane with minimal kit, White borrowed a pair of Nike cricket shoes from Lehmann’s garage — without asking him. “I went in there and there’s this wall full of Nike cricket shoes,” White recalled. “I’m in there going through — yep, I’ll have those and I’ll have those.”
