Doesn't entirely add up, though? i'm afraid.
When exactly were the 2 years of sobriety?
I don't see a 2 year period where he was dominating but not getting picked for NZ opportunities. I only see 1 season 2014/15.
Probably moot. The fact he couldn't last more than 2 years shows it was probably the correct decision regardless, sadly.

He had all the talent in the world but other less talented guys like Henry Nicholls didn’t have the off field dramas I guess.
It's not just the off field dramas there's the issue of application of talent as relates to cricket.
What's that old saying......
Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.

He would have rocked if he'd come through in the 80s. His body type would fit right in
