A right-handed batsman, Whatmore played seven Test matches for Australia in 1979, and one One Day International in 1980. At first-class level, he scored over 6,000 runs for Victoria. Since the 1990s, Whatmore has coached several national cricket teams including the Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Nepal. He was the head coach of Sri Lanka when Sri Lanka won the Cricket World Cup in 1996, and when Sri Lanka was one of the dual-winners of the 2002 ICC Champions Trophy, along with India.
