She scored just 33 runs in the two innings of the only Test, 273 runs in nine ODI innings and just 48 runs in four T20I innings. She finished the tournament as the second-highest run-scorer, with 497 runs in nine innings and an average of 62.12.

That proved her mettle and in 2010, she went on to score 204 runs in seven innings at an average of 40.8, including an unbeaten 75-run knock against New Zealand, as a middle-order batter. In a career spanning 13 years, she was a part of Australia's resurgence in the last few seasons and played a significant role with the bat. Her retirement will leave a gaping hole at the top of the order as Alyssa Healy will have to look for a partner who can be as fluent as Haynes.
