Watched by her household, her group-mates had allowed her to run on first when their fielding stint started and Adelaide Strikers applauded her as she got here into bat with Foo Fighters’ My Hero taking part in across the floor.
“I try to just embrace it, but it isn’t something that sits that comfortably with me to be honest,” Haynes stated of her farewell. “I’ve probably spent most of my career trying to avoid the limelight. But really appreciate all the effort and really grateful for the players sending me off, it’s very kind of them.”
“I’ve always just tried to do the right thing by people, the right thing by the programmes I’ve been part of and tried to prepare the best I could and set a good example for others around me,” she stated. “When you are doing all those things you are probably a bit oblivious to the impact it’s having, but there’s been quite a few people who have reached out this week and said, ‘good luck, well done’, and it’s definitely meant a lot to me.
“Everyone needs to succeed and do effectively, but what binds teams collectively and brings them again collectively is the success you share on area. I really feel very lucky that I’ve been capable of expertise that each domestically and internationally.”
“It’s an fascinating one,” she said. “I clearly did not have the season I’ve had prior to now. I suppose [upon] reflecting [that] you simply lose a little bit of that aggressive edge and it is one thing I’ve by no means needed to be consciously conscious of prior to now, I’ve all the time simply been up and 100% on it, and I reckon this yr there have been most likely occasions after I wasn’t at that very same edge that it’s essential have at this degree.”
“I had blended feelings coming into the bottom immediately,” she said. “It’s unusual, I introduced it six weeks in the past now and in direction of the top of this week when it was beginning to turn into a bit extra actual, I positively observed myself going by means of totally different waves of emotion and being a bit teary. By the identical the token I do know I’m able to stroll away. But strolling away from one thing that is been such an enormous a part of my life for a very long time can be difficult.”
She has but to determine what comes subsequent. There will likely be some WBBL commentary throughout finals week after which she’s going to take the remainder of the yr off. But if she so chooses, Haynes has a lot extra to supply cricket.
