InDepth headlines national business sports cricket regional entertainment technology world travel autos health | Dion Nash retires from all forms of cricket 13.17 IST 02nd May 2002 New Zealand all-rounder Dion Nash has announced his retirement from all forms of cricket. Dion has played 32 Tests in a nine-year career spanning from November 1992 to November 2001. He has 93 Test wickets at an average of 28.48. He also scored 729 runs at an average of 23.51. Dion has played in 81 One-Day Internationals. He has 64 wickets and an economy rate of 4.60. His ODI batting average is 15.60. Dion's career has been punctuated by injury, the most serious of which was a back injury, which kept him out of all cricket for the year 1996. A rigorous programme based around the Pilates method of increasing flexibility got him back onto the park but he continued to be hampered by a series of injuries at intervals throughout the remainder of his career. Following an injury during the winter tour to Zimbabwe in 2000 it was touted that he may remodel himself as a specialist batsman, but Dion defied the pundits and once again regained his fitness and was able to contribute with both bat and ball. In his latest return Nash once again showed his fighting qualities. Against South Africa in the VB Series in Australia this summer, and with an inexperienced line-up missing Chris Cairns and Shane Bond due to injury, Nash took the new ball and knocked over the South African top-order taking the wickets of Herschelle Gibbs, Jacques Kallis and Neil McKenzie. He finished with 3-37 off his ten overs. |
