Assessment of Dion Nash
From Lifting the Covers, by Glenn Turner, 1998,
p. 203
Dion Nash was capable of bowling a good outswinger at medium
pace. He had a lot of trouble with injuries. Unfortunately,
the reality of touring is that there's little time for rehab
and recovery. As a result Nash wasn't able to make as big
a contribution as he and we would have liked, and he tended
to look to blame others for his difficulties. For some time
on tour we had noted that Cairns' influence on Nash was largely
detrimental. After Cairns left the team, Nash had apologised
to Alabaster for sulking, an apology to his credit. His batting
had fallen away in the West Indies, too, and he developed
a fear of the ball and a habit of slogging across the line.
Nash is a natural athlete who moves well in the deep. He has
safe hands and an accurate throwing arm. We felt that Nash
needed to take time out, give his body time to repair, get
fit and ease himself back into cricket. Which is what he did.
