"My wife is into her horses and equestrian riding. I was down on the farm and running around after horses and learning the horse trade, it was just great," Martyn said. "She has events every two or three weeks in the state competition - showjumping, dressage and cross-country - I would go with her to watch.
"I wasn't into horses but she wasn't into cricket either so it's been a swap. It took my mind off everything really which was a good break from cricket. Marriage has come at a good stage because it's at the end of my career. After cricket my first focus will be family."
Shaun Tait believes his injured shoulder is back at 85 percent, but he tells AAP’s Daniel Brettig he still doesn’t think the national selectors are comfortable picking him.
The domestic season begins today and The Courier-Mail runs a question-and-answer interview with Queensland’s captain Jimmy Maher.
