==International career==
How forced his way into international contention through a series of good seasons for Central Districts.

Cricket Scorecard |publisher=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=2017-04-12}}</ref> He struggled in his first few matches, failing to reach fifty in his first ten innings and was dropped from the team at the end of 2006. On his return to Tests in March 2007 – 2008, he posted his first half-century, a fluent 92 in the first Test against England at [[Seddon Park|Hamilton]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/current/match/300442.html|title=1st Test: New Zealand v England at Hamilton, Mar 5-9, 2008.
