1996 World Cup Profile:
The mainstay of the New Zealand pace attack since the retirement of Richard Hadlee, and a stout hearted trier. 150 test wickets, but at a higher average than he would like. Lacking the height necessary to get steep bounce from just short of a drivable length, he compensates by bowling a full length and drawing the batsman forward. His best ball is the late outswinger with the new ball, and this is frequently unplayable without taking the edge. Being a little full at times, and not having that ability to bring the odd one back, he is a little predictable and hittable. He can also bowl a dangerous lifting ball, but has to bowl it short thus giving the batsman more runs if he gets it wrong. Very pacey - much more so than most critics realise - and outpaced the entire West Indian quartet in 1994/5. Two years ago, doubtless inspired by Waqar Younis, he learned how to bowl reverse swing. He now possess an inswinging yorker which can clean up a tail at the death in limited overs. Has a ODI hat-trick in just those circumstances. Safe fielder in the deep with a good throw.help@cricinfo.com
