Nicola Browne

Nicola Browne is a genuine pace bowler who gets good lift from her 180cm height. Her ability to take early wickets makes her a potent force as an opening bowler. Browne's talent was apparent in her progression through the age groups, resulting in her selection for the 2002-03 A tour of Australia after being part of the New Zealand Cricket Academy intake. She had debuted for the White Ferns in the 2001-02 Rosebowl Series and was subsequently selected for the winter tour to Europe. In her latest outing for her country, against India in the ODI series (2006), Browne contributed solidly with both ball and bat, helping her country to a 4-1 series victory.
