Although a difficult batsman to remove, his defensive style has caused criticism. After eight seasons with Tasmania and being a major part of their success in the Pura Cup Final in 2006–07 – scoring a century – he was dropped in 2007/08 after scoring 103 runs in five matches and subsequently not offered a contract for the 2008/09 season.
