Graham Keith Whyte (born 29 March 1952) was a Queensland cricketer in the 1970s and 1980s. He was primarily an off-spinner although also a useful lower-order batsman. During World Series Cricket Whyte was occasionally spoken of as a possible Test candidate.[1]

Career

Whyte made his first class debut in 1974–75. He took three wickets against the touring MCC side bowling in tandem with Malcolm Francke.[2]

Whyte appeared more regularly for Queensland in 1976-77. That summer he took 6–65 against WA.[3][4] He took 14 wickets overall at an average of 35.

During the season Whyte played several games alongside Viv Richards who wrote in his memoirs that Whyte "was a real character... He would stand there and say, ‘Come on, Thommo [Jeff Thomson], rip the fucker up him. . . Fucking give him plenty ... Hurt the fucker.’ But his batting was as limited as his vocabulary. When it was his turn and there was some pace about, the same guy who gave all that crap suddenly went deathly quiet... Out there he had all that chat, but when it came to it he displayed cowardice, and there are a lot like that in Shield cricket, good talkers when they are in the field but when they come in to bat it’s a different story."[5]

After Australia's leading spinners Ray Bright and Kerry O'Keefe joined World Series Cricket in 1977, some observers such as Greg Chappell and Ray Robinson suggested Whyte may be selected for Australia.[6] [7]

Whyte had a very good season in 1977–78, taking 25 wickets at 32.48. However the Australian selectors preferred Tony Mann, Jim Higgs and Bruce Yardley. Whyte's omission from the 1978 tour to West Indies was publicly criticsed by Queensland coach Ken Mackay.[8]

Whyte only took three first class wickets the following summer and did not play first class cricket from March 1979 to October 1983.

However he was recalled to the Queensland time in October 1983, by which stage he was captain-coach of Queensland Colts.[9] He took 20 wickets at 40.80 that summer. Whyte played in the 1983-84 Shield final.[10]

Whyte played two more first class games in 1984–85.
