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.
