He was a right-handed batsman and right arm fast-medium bowler who represented Tasmania from 1980 until 1984, and played for Western Australia until 1986. He was a useful bowler, who could be relied upon for Tasmania, at time when the struggling state side was trying to establish itself as a competitive team. In 1984, Clough took the best bowling figures for Tasmania in the Sheffield Shield, a record that stood until March 2022.[1]
His gritty bowling performances for Tasmania in the dark period of the early 1980s saw him added as a member of the state's elite Cricket Hall of Fame.
