Site Updates for 2002

November 20, 2002
News updated.

November 10, 2002
I was right a while back when I posited Dion Nash's involvement in the current contract dispute between NZC and the Players' Association - in fact, Martin Crowe has intimated that he is the driving force behind it. I have added four articles on Nash's role (as refracted through the media) and comments made during the dispute to date: "Players won't bow to NZC, says Nash", "Nash bounces out of retirement to pummel NZC", "Doig refutes claims made by Dion Nash", and "Fleming should take over pay negotiations - Crowe". I have also added a photo of Nash during a Players' Association press conference to the Gallery.

November 2, 2002
I have added an exerpt from The Wicked Keeper in which Adam Parore offers his thoughts on Nash, to the articles section. So much for not updating this site - I keep finding odd bits and pieces to add to the archive. Whether or not anyone (other than me) actually sees them :) And a notice to the loyal - I really do intend to put some more video on here eventually, when I have the means to do so.

October 31, 2002
News updated to mark the 10th anniversary of Dion Nash's debut in international cricket. Two new pictures added to the 1999-2000 Gallery page.

October 5, 2002
News (sort of) updated.

October 1, 2002
I won't apologise for the lack of updates. It's unavoidable, really. But I have found and added an article from 2001, "A courageous cricketer". How very true. I have also updated the Links page. Anyway, I haven't abandoned this site and, when I have more time, I hope to have some video highlights from Nash's career up - ideally in time for the 10th anniversary of his international debut later this month. And thankyou to everyone who has continued to visit.

August 5, 2002
Links updated: dead links removed and some new ones added.

July 30, 2002
News updated, with an outline of Nash's new job.

July 23, 2002
Given that I don't exactly have anything else to do site-wise, I have continued my forays into multimedia and added a video (in Real Player format) to the Multimedia page. It's Dion Nash being interviewed on Strassman during 2000. Again, please let me know if something doesn't work - or any comments - by signing my guestbook. And hopefully one day I will add some "great cricketing moments", or something like that.

July 22, 2002
I have added two audio files - both interviews from the day Dion Nash announced his retirement - to my embarassingly small Multimedia section. This section is really only experimental and I will take into account any comments on usability, desirability, etc.

July 18, 2002
I've rounded up a few bits and pieces I've had lying around and put them on the site: three pictures from the media coverage of Nash's retirement (and beyond - thanks to Jo for the third one), and another drawing.

June 20, 2002
The Dion Nash Site is three years old today. But I have nothing to add except this small tribute.

June 18, 2002
Picture of Nash and Chris Cairns in 1994-95 added to Gallery: Old Photos (click 3). Error on Career Chronology 1993 page fixed. Fixed the site "museum" so that it now includes the June 2001 design.

June 5, 2002
Article from 2000 added, "Nash back to square one".

May 28, 2002
I have written an extended review of Dion Nash's cricketing career, called "The Spirit", which can be accessed from the Retirement Feature page. Many thanks to everyone who has assisted with this project! If you have any comments or corrections, please sign the guestbook.

May 8, 2002
Profile re-written (and inevitably too long - my apologies). Also, another picture, from 1993, added to Gallery: Old Photos (click "3") and an article from 2001, "Dion Nash - Never Say Die!", added.

May 5, 2002
Another article added, "Nash rates Rixon best" (despite the title, it includes more general discussion of Nash's retirement and some interesting insights on his friendship with Chris Cairns). Some minor changes to the About page.

May 4, 2002
More retirement Articles added. Also, I'm thinking of making a page of tributes. If you would like to say something, email me or write in the guestbook.

May 3, 2002
"Retirement Feature" page added, with links to statistics, profile, retirement articles etc. More Articles added. I will update the Profile as soon as possible.

May 2, 2002
Four Articles about Nash's retirement from cricket added and News updated. I will continue to update as swiftly as possible over the next few days to "tie up" the site, which I intend to leave online as a tribute, although obviously it will not be updated.

April 29, 2002
News updated.

April 19, 2002
Article, "Nash's future clouded by injury" added and News updated.

April 18, 2002
Article, "Nash slams domestic ban, battles to get fit", added; Danny Morrison's "Do the crime, pay the fine" (from December last year) offers another interesting take on the suspension issue. Also, two archival pieces added (thanks once again to Jules): "Nashing at bit to play for NZ" (1997) and "Nash ready to overcome a touch of the Tufnells" (1995). News updated.

March 21, 2002
News updated.

March 13, 2002
After 2 1/2 years of not-so-faithful service, I have finally replaced the Guestbook with one that works a little more often. The down-side being my guestbook now contains the grand total of one entry, and it was me... so why not sign it? :)

March 12, 2002
Guestbook entries moved to the Guestbook Archive (2). A few Links fixed.

March 11, 2002
More Articles added: "Nash ready to boost Kiwi bowling stocks" (1997), "Nash felt jittery before NZ comeback" (1998), "Nash in spin after thriller" (1998), "Nash's Test wicket tally moves at last" (1998), "The leading edge" (1999), "Nash relishing heat of battle" (1999) - many thanks to Jules for all of them! - and "Nash to lead Northern team" (1997).

March 10, 2002
The following Articles added to the archive, courtesy of Jules: "Nash bares his teeth" (1994); "Nash dancing his way to Test fitness" (1997), "Dancers' regime aids Nash's recall" (1997); and "Nash relishes return to fray" (1998). Another Desktop Picture, with a 2002 VB Series theme, now available.

March 7, 2002
Desktop Pictures (wallpapers) section added (only one at the moment).

March 2, 2002
News updated; Career Chronology pages re-formatted to match the rest of the site. That means (I hope) that I have now applied the "new look" to the entire site.

March 1, 2002
New Gallery page added, New Zealand in Australia 2001-2002. New Images page with my photos from the 2nd Final at the SCG added. Some new photos added to the Bowral photos page. "New look" applied to all Articles.

February 28, 2002
I am pleased to be able to say my computer is working again! So I've updated the News and applied the "new look" to all the Images pages. In the process, I redesigned the Gallery and deleted two image pages, Caringbah 1998 and Brisbane 2000, which did not actually contain photos of Dion Nash. You can still find these photos at Fun With Black Caps. I also added an article, "Cairns, Nash have fire to turn up heat on favourites", which includes Dion's comments on his suspension in December.

February 18, 2002
News updated; article, "Sporting stars confirm team" added (thanks Jo). My computer has died on me (again!) but I will endeavour to update the site regularly nonetheless, with apologies for any delays.

February 9, 2002
News updated.

February 7, 2002
News updated.

February 2, 2002
Two new Images pages added, with photos from Manuka Oval (October 2001) and Don Bradman Oval (January 2002); News updated.

January 31, 2002
News updated; several articles (albeit old news now) uploaded: "Nash suspended for 13 days following code violations", "Nash has battle to claw his way back", "Nash dines out in style at Bradman picnic match", and "Time NZ made an impact, says Nash". I have archived the 2001 site updates log because it had become unwieldy.

January 28, 2002
News updated.

January 21, 2002
I'm home and I've updated the News, with a new page for a new year. Wow, I go away for a few weeks and in that time Dion recovers from injury, scores a century, gets suspended, gets selected, and gets injured again!

...If it's been a while since you last visited, you may wish to view older updates.
