Dian Forrester doesn’t need many balls to make an impression. One clean strike is usually enough, you hear it more than anything else. That sharp, crisp sound off the bat, and suddenly the ball is disappearing, often into the stands, sometimes feeling like it’s gone even further, some of the sixes he has hit this PSL have been enormous.
He’s a proper power hitter. Not just someone who swings hard, but someone who connects cleanly and consistently. The frustrating part is how little we’ve actually seen of him in this season of the Pakistan Super League. The Pindiz haven’t really given him a run, and it shows. A player like that can’t influence games from the dugout, someone like that needs to be facing way more balls to make exceptional totals.
What stands out is how different he looks compared to the rest of the side. It’s been a fairly flat, predictable batting unit, and then Forrester walks in and suddenly there’s a bit of intent, a bit of edge. Even in short bursts, he’s looked like someone worth building around, which makes his lack of opportunities even harder to understand.
It’s early days, but the signs are obvious. South Africa keep producing these physically imposing, aggressive batters, and Forrester fits that mould. He just needs a proper run to show it.
Hope the Pindiz management are reading this thread, retain him next season, his star is going to grow brighter in the coming year.
