The Rajasthan Royals are finding their feet albeit slowly in the 2010 IPL 3. However, one person went conspicuously absent from the Royals camp after playing just one match.
Martyn was a surprise buy at the auctions but clearly Shane Warne was behind the move. But after facing the Royal Challengers Bangalore, Martyn had more time to pen his thoughts. These are his excerpts:
"The Rajasthan Royals squad has been trimmed to 19 players and it looks like allrounder Shane Watson might join us next week. That's the nature of professional cricket and I knew from the start what my role in the squad was and how this might happen."
On his one match stint for the Rajasthan Royals, "I enjoyed my IPL debut last week and even though it wasn't the best result (19 off 24 balls) it's ironic that ever I was to play it had to be against the best bowler in the world. Dale Steyn, bowling 155kmph."
On his future with the game, "I have enjoyed my time as a player but going forward I'm looking forward to new roles around the group, like all past players, getting my notebook out, sitting in the dugout and scribbling away."
