It's been an incredible experience. To all my team-mates, coaches, opposition, fans, and friends I've met along the way, I want to thank you for making my time in cricket so memorable. Cricket really has given me my life - from leaving Dunedin as a youngster to attend the NZC Academy in Christchurch, to traveling the world as a White Fern and representing my country - it's been a dream come true.
