In the 2007–08 season, Haynes played in all eight of Victoria's WNCL matches. She started the season with 69 and 1/4 in a 97-run win over Western Australia, and then made 38 and 47 as Victoria lost both matches to New South Wales. This was the start of run of five consecutive defeats for Victoria, and Haynes was not productive during the second half of the season, making only 59 runs in her last four innings. Victoria won only three of their matches and missed the finals; Haynes ended with 239 runs at 29.87 and four wickets at 27.25. She had little success in Victoria's two Twenty20

Haynes then made her Test debut in the one-off match at New Road
, Worcester

as Australia took a 41-run lead. Batting at No. 9, Haynes made 16 from 18 balls in the second innings before being stumped by Sarah Taylor
as the visitors set England 273 for victory. The home team reached 3/106 when time ran out as Haynes took 0/13 in the second innings.
The WNCL was expanded in 2009–10 with the addition of the ACT, so ten round-robin matches were scheduled, and Haynes played in all but one match for the season, scoring 397 runs at 39.70. Haynes struggled to convert her starts into large scores in the first six innings posting scores ranging from 16 to 32. In the seventh match, she struck a career-best 126 as Victoria amassed 3/295 to defeat South Australia by 67 runs. She followed this with 37 and 85 in consecutive wins of the ACT.

with 56 from 73 balls, helping the hosts to 241 and a 115-run win. In the next match, she made 8 from 25 balls as Australia won by four wickets on the Duckworth-Lewis method
. From the third match onwards, she was moved down into the middle-order to accommodate Poulton at the top of the order alongside Nitschke. Haynes scored 34 not out from 29 balls in the third match at the death, pushing Australia to 7/238. After not being required to bat in a ten-wicket win in the fourth match, she top-scored again in the fifth match, hitting an unbeaten 75 from 74 balls, including eight fours, to set up a 103-run win and a 5–0 clean sweep. Haynes ended with 173 runs at 86.50 at a strike rate of 86.06.
The ODIs were followed by three T20 matches at Bellerive Oval
in Hobart
and two more in New Zealand. Haynes played in all five as New Zealand completed a clean sweep. In the first match, her T20 debut, she came in at No. 6 and was unbeaten on 14 from 16 balls and watching from the non-striker's end as her partner Alyssa Healy
was caught from the last ball of the match, handing New Zealand a two-run win. In the following match, Australia batted first and Haynes was promoted to No. 4, but struggled to generate momentum, making 15 from 22 balls. In the third match, she was out for 16 from as many balls at No. 6, run out as Australia lost their third match in a row. She continued to struggle in the last two matches, making 5 from 7 balls in Wellington
before being promoted to open in the final match in Christchurch
, making 3 from 5 balls. Haynes was not successful in the T20s, scoring 53 runs at 13.25 at a strike rate of 80.25. She bowled for the only time during the bilateral series in the fourth T20 match, taking 3/19 from two overs.
The series concluded with three ODIs in New Zealand, which the tourists swept 3–0. Haynes was not as successful as she was in the ODIs in Australian scoring 31 runs at 10.33 and a strike rate of 45.58.

In the first warm-up match, against New Zealand, she took 0/12 from two overs and then did not bat as Australia made 5/118. She did not play in the next preparatory match as the Australians defeated Pakistan by 82 runs. There was no room for Haynes after fellow Victorian Elyse Villani
was brought in to open the batting and the other batsmen were moved down a position. Villani had made 6 from 10 balls and 45 from 36 balls in the two lead-in matches.
Australia won all three group matches, and then the semi-final and final to take the tournament, and Villani was persisted with throughout even though she only aggregated 28 runs at 5.60 with a strike rate of 73.68.
