Playing career

After a couple of seasons with Western Australia, he moved to Tasmania, where he played some of his best cricket, including a hat-trick against New South Wales, and a record 11 wickets in the 2002-03 Pura Cup final against the Queensland Bulls.
Following his enormous success with Tasmania he returned to Queensland, fulfilling his dream of representing his home state.
