Jason Roy has one less item on his bucket list after the opener scored his first international century as England beat Pakistan by 84 runs in Dubai.
Playing his 18th match in an England shirt, Roy paved the way for a series-clinching win with his maiden century, from 113 balls.
Usually that would be enough to claim the headlines the next day - those hopes dashed by Jos Buttler's record-breaking 46-ball ton - but that hardly mattered to Roy after completing a lifelong ambition.
"It was amazing, there's not many other words I can use,"he told ecb.co.uk.
"It was a surreal feeling pushing on to that three-figure score. It's a shame I couldn't kick on. I probably could have kicked on a bit more and got a better hundred but you can't complain.
"I would have taken that when I woke up this morning.
"It's something that I've been working for my whole career. To do it in an England shirt and here in a big game was even more special."
The 25-year-old only made his one-day international debut in May, in the rained-off match against Ireland, but already the signs of his maturity at the highest stage were evident.
Roy earned his reputation in domestic ranks as a hard-hitting enforcer, however, his innings today owed as much to his will to push through the tough patches rather than just sheer stroke-making.
He had to work through a slightly scratchy start - his first two boundaries came off his inside edge - before he started to flourish alongside Joe Root in a 140-run stand.
He went past his previous highest score of 67 with his only six, which proved a key moment, after admitting he had been conscious not to let slip the chance to convert a start.
"(It was) probably just a case of knuckling down and not giving it away on 60-odd and just ticking over in the 60s, 70 and 80s," he said.
what a great feeling! The lads have been awesome all series! Proper team effort!! #PAKvENGpic.twitter.com/WfYGunlCmP

"The boundaries just seemed to come (after that). It's a huge learning curve for me and hopefully I can take it on into the future."
Roy's innings laid the platform for the carnage that was to come and he joked that, after getting out in the 34th over, it was time to allow Buttler to take centre stage.
"I just made room for him. I just got out so that he could show us how to really bat," he said.
"It was incredible. Some of the shots he plays and the way he plays and his confidence has been incredible.
"From last game into this game it has been two match-winning knocks. I'm hugely proud of him and the boys are so over the moon."
After losing the opening match of the series England strung three clinical performances together to wrap up the series - their first on foreign soil for 20 months - and continue the progress of the young side.
"It's amazing really especially to win 3-1," he added.
"After the first game a bit of a disappointment we fought back so strongly and obviously today was a huge win to top it off.
"The boys are so happy, we've worked so hard this whole tour. We've trained so hard and we've gelled together so well. I'm stoked."
Top series win! Congrats @JasonRoy20 on you're 1st ton!! And an unbelievable knock from @josbuttler !!! Well done lads!
