2016 will live long in the memory of White Ferns cricketer Amy Satterthwaite.
She created history with three consecutive One Day hundreds - a remarkable feat that led to receiving a Halberg nomination for Sportswoman of the Year.
She got into cricket because of her dad, Mike Satterthwaite, who was a handy cricket player during his prime. He also coached Amy in her younger days.
"You could tell from a young age the talent was there," Mike says.
Currently Amy is playing for the Canterbury Magicians, the White Ferns, and in T20 leagues in Australia and the UK, as well as working part-time for Canterbury Cricket coaching juniors.
She is currently the world's fifth ranked One Day all-rounder; she's a right arm off-spinner and left-handed batter.
And she can only get better after achieving a first in the women's game - three consecutive One Day centuries against Pakistan.
But despite achieving that milestone, she still has some things she wants to kick off the bucket list.
"Certainly looking ahead if we could win the Rose Bowl against Australia and we haven't done that for 16-17 years," Amy says.
They last won the World Cup in 2000, and coming from the farming stock that she does, the word 'drought' is not one that she cares for.
