1996 World Cup Profile:
Another of those much more suited to limited overs at international level. Has a stance at the wicket very like Richard Hadlee and, like Hadlee, enjoys width on the off side so he can free his arms and hit off either foot through cover. Dominates at provin- cial level where he can play either the hitting or the accumulat- ing game, but has hitherto found it harder in ODIs. Discarded after the tour of RSA (1994/5) during which his form fell away - he had a great start in the lead up games but was not selected for the tests - he has lifted his game a notch or two during this period. As a bowler he had the figures of WC92, but much of this was due to cheap wickets in the slog overs. Regarded by coach Glenn Turner as being "too predictable and hittable" with his early inswing, he has gone away and developed medium paced leg cutters and leg spinners for variety. Whether he makes a starting lineup or not, he is a certainty to be involved in all the games since he is such a lithe, athletic, fieldsman at point. Lethal with the ball in hand and with the batsman out of his ground.help@cricinfo.com
