Yes. Hopeless bowling in the 4 day game. When he started I wondered if he was carrying an injury and that was why he looked innocuous. Turned out not to be the case.
Apparently it was pressure from our new chairman to sign him and understandably no one wished to contradict him- obviously going on an out of date judgement.
if it was pressure from ITB, then the info would certainly be out of date..... and almost certainly based on his BBL stats from about 3 years ago.
all makes sense now, though.
he took 11 wickets in 7 matches at 50something in helpful early season conditions....... hopeless.
yet no-one took more than his 9 wickets in a dreadful 50 over campaign, and no-one came close to his 22 wickets in a very good T20 campaign
so he's worth having as long as no-one is daft enough to throw him a red ball
