Having become the first Silver Fern to play 150 Tests this morning, veteran midcourter Laura Langman admitted she had next to no idea she'd crossed such a significant milestone.

Langman, 32, became the first to notch 150 Tests in the black dress this morning, as the Silver Ferns fell to a narrow 53-50 defeat to Australia in London.

Speaking to 1 NEWS afterward though, Langman said that she was completely in the dark as to the significance of this morning's match.

"To be honest, I didn't even know," Langman said.

"The other day I did an interview. He said 'you're coming up to your 150th' and I was like 'oh jeepers!'

"If that's not a sign you've been around too long, I don't know what is."

Langman also said that she's relaxed about her future in the game, with no real aspirations on the immediate horizon.

"When I took a step back from netball, it really gave me perspective.

I no longer need to be the meticulously planned person, I've been a well oiled soldier for so long, I don't make big bad plans anymore, I kind of just go with it."

"I'm just taking it as it comes really."
