Martin's wise head running on young legs

Chris Martin is an interesting character, not a tunnel-visioned cricket head by any stretch, writes David Leggat in the New Zealand Herald. Martin, his country's fourth highest wicket-taker in Test cricket, tells Leggat he is determined to show there's still life in those long, loping strides.

"Unfortunately when you get to a certain age and you're still playing, people ask when you're going to stop, which is a little bit offensive at times. You keep playing while you're good enough. If people are constantly asking if you're out of time you start to think maybe that's how they are perceiving you."
