He's gone backwards since scoring 80 on FC debut and being a very dependable death option for the Aces in T20. Mixture of injury (back surgery a year or so ago) and some questionable decisions to which way he wanted to form his game. Has gone from a hard-hitting middle order batsman with slippery pace and an outswinger to a gun barrel straight bowler with slightly less pace and a much less dangerous batsman, albeit technically better. If he's ever going to get in the Auckland set-up again it'll be as a four-day batsman who bowls a bit.
Ajaz Patel is a slow left-arm orthodox, incidentally. Don't know DOB. Used to bowl left-arm swing and changed. Quite a decent T20/limited overs bowler.
