What an incredible week - I’m truly overwhelmed by the experience. It has been an honour to represent my country 112 times in my favourite format, test cricket. Thank you to my family, friends, teammates & the fans for your unwavering support.
It has been an absolute privilege.
Delighted for the team tonight! Awesome to bat with Henry & Tom to achieve a really satisfying win. Love playing at Seddon Park (thanks KJ). Next stop Eden Park 🏏

Doesn’t feel like 2007 was that long ago being named in my first World Cup squad, special to be here for a fourth time and to see Henry get named in his first. Can’t wait to get to…

Sad to hear of the passing of NZ rugby and Wairarapa Bush legend Sir Brian Lochore. An honour to have met him & received some wise words over the years. Will never forget those huge hands! Thoughts are with the family, Rest In Peace BJ.
Great to get the series win. Congrats kylejamieson_ on the debut and MoM. Great contribution with bat and ball. Enjoyed batting with you too! Many more to MoM awards to come!

A chance to reflect today on a humbling few days in Wellington. Thank you very much to everyone for the support and messages. It has really meant a lot. What made it all the more special, was to do it with my family…
Special to have friend and mentor Ian Smith present the team’s caps ahead of tomorrow and to receive a cap to mark 100 Tests in front of friends and family who have done so much for me. Good luck to kylejamieson_ on…
