A decent career for Nathan

While his brother Brendon is a more renowned name in the cricketing fraternity, Nathan didn’t flatter to deceive and did reasonably well. The Otago-born cricketer represented New Zealand in 84 ODIs and 63 T20Is in which he scored 1070 and 299 runs respectively. He was no mug with the ball either.

The off-break bowler picked up 63 and 53 ODI and T20I wickets respectively. Nathan also plied his trade effectively as a T20 freelancer across the globe. He also had the privilege of playing in the cash-rich Indian Premier League (IPL). He played a couple of matches in 2011 for Pune Warriors India.

He was also brought by Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 2013 edition of the IPL but didn’t get to play a game. Moreover, he also played T20 cricket in Australia, Pakistan, and England. Back in 2015, he made the announcement of his retirement after the 2015/16 domestic season.
