Doesn't bowl anymore; was always only a handy batter rather than a dangerous one.
Was only ever going to make the side as an allrounder, probably only in the limited over games

Which basically means he is useless as of now. And he is not bowling these days. Marumaesque.

He was a decent prospect as a bowling allrounder. Not so much as a specialist batsman. That said, he has contributed well for the Eagles in the 2nd half of their Logan Cup campaign, and he is a prolific 6 hitter.

Waller is basically RUBBISH dosent bowl dosnt bat long innings can only slog not an athletic fielder, not a great team mate, a great big baby who needs diapers when not selected. very arrogant and thinks he should be captain with no leadership skills. Oh and i shake my head at why they even bothered let him back into the FC system after his failed attempt to migrate to Ireland he should just bloody bugger back to Ireland and run a pub

Ignoring all the personality related stuff, which I am in no position to comment on... He has 218 runs in 6 Logan Cup innings. Averaging 37 with 3 50s, and 14 6s (!!). This too for a side who appear on course to win the title at the moment. "Rubbish" would appear to be wide of the mark.

The scores are against lesser attacks and if he wants to be a good cricketer to play for Zimbabwe he needs to suck up the pain and bloody bowl and bat for hundresds if you had said he scored 3 Logan cup hundreds yes i would now call him average but he must be lumped with the average bunch of players collecting USD800 monthly checks. The truth of the matter is that Nathan is quite far if not even a dream away from the selectors minds like a lot of players. The gap between the Franchise and National team is huge case in point Slugs double hundred last week and Chakabvas back to back hundreds thats the standard i expect.
