Excerpt from 'Middlesex in 1995', Wisden 1996, p.534

"Perhaps too much was expected of him, but New Zealander Dion nash was a disappointment. He started well, with nine wickets in his second game, against Hampshire, but his next nine first-class matches brought him only 16 wickets at 48 apiece. His bowling looked up in August, when he took eight against Durham, but his batting was even more disappointing: some wondered whether he would have retained his place, had he not been the overseas player. What must be borne in mind is that Nash has had very limited experience for a 23-year-old. In England, cricketers have a chance to play professionally from their teens. Before joining Middlesex, Nash had made ten Test appearances, but only 37 in first-class matches. By comparison, Dominic Cork of Derbyshire, three months older and not a dissimilar player, had 83 games under his belt. Middlesex showed faith in Nash and renewed his contract, hoping he would have learned form his first county season."

"Among the one-game players was overseas all-rounder Dion Nash, who missed the beginning of the season because of New Zealand's tour of the West Indies, though a back condition kept him out of the Tests. It was still a problem when he reached Lord's. He played against Sussex, bowling ten overs and taking one for 44. His back was still painful and he did not appear again. The county could not have done much more in trying to discover exactly what the problem was. Untold scans and X-rays failed to reveal anything specific; in June, it was decided to terminate his contract and Nash returned to New Zealand."
