One of the best team mates you could ask for, and someone you knew always had your back. I will miss running out alongside you @kmarty01 and your questionable chat behind the stumps. Thank you for everything you’ve done for the @WHITE_FERNS 🖤🤍 https://t.co/SzSoDDfkqq

And despite being foes on the field, Martin made plenty of friends off the field judging by the response from a host of international stars.
Huge congrats on a wonderful career @kmarty01 … it will be somewhat quiet taking guard out in the middle now without you there 😂 …Thank you for everything you have added to the game! https://t.co/RBy2vBLYcc
