Had it not been for injuries, there was no doubting that Dion Nash would have gone on to become one of the best fast bowlers in the game. He showed what he was capable of during the Mohali test of 1999, when cut open the Indian batting line-up with his pace and swing, picking up figures of 6 for 27 in 11 overs to help dismiss India for 83 in their first innings.
It really was a performance that found the Indians hopping, but unlike Hadlee in 1988, his exploits could not help the Kiwis win the game as India put forth a much stronger performance in the second innings and that meant that the Test ended in a draw.
