Hailing from Wollongong, New South Wales, Nathan McAndrew shot into limelight when he played a couple of games for Sydney Thunder in BBL 05. An amateur player, Nathan came in as an injury replacement player in the middle of the season for Pat Cummins and was immediately thrown at the deep end of things. Nathan in the following season signed a full contract with Sydney Thunder. A product of the Thunder academy, Nathan McAndrew plies his trade at the Bankstown District Cricket Club. Nathan also made his debut in the Plunket Shield playing for Auckland. As a right-arm medium fast bowler and a capable lower-order batsman, McAndrew featured in three games for Auckland.
