About Erin Osborne

  • Erin Alyse Osborne (born 27 June 1989) is a cricketer who played for New South Wales and Australia and currently plays for and captains the ACT meteors.
  • An off spin bowler, she made her international debut in early 2009 after topping the wicket-taking aggregates in her debut season for New South Wales in the Women's National Cricket League (WNCL).
  • However, she has found it difficult to maintain a regular position in the Australian team because of the presence of Shelley Nitschke and Lisa Sthalekar, two spin bowling all-rounders who are ranked in the top ten in the world for both bowling and all-round performance. After scoring an unbeaten century for New South Wales at Under-19 level in 2007, Osborne made her WNCL during the 2008–09 season.
  • After taking two wickets for 13 runs (2/13) from ten overs on debut, she took three wickets in each of the next two matches.
  • She later took 4/18 against Victoria and ended with 15 wickets at 14.20 as New South Wales took out the WNCL.
  • Osborne was rewarded with selection for the Rose Bowl series against New Zealand, and took 3/32 in her third match, ending the series with five wickets.
  • She was retained for the 2009 World Cup held in Australia, playing in six of the hosts' seven matches.
  • She took nine wickets at 19.77. Osborne was selected for the 2009 World Twenty20 in England but did not play in any of the matches.
  • Australia stayed for a bilateral series against the hosts, and Osborne was dropped after going wicketless in the first two ODIs and being required to bowl less than half of her overs; she was also overlooked for the one-off Test.
  • During the 2009–10, Osborne took 15 wickets at 14.17, including a haul of 3/33 in the final against Victoria, helping to secure a 59-run win and a fifth consecutive WNCL title for New South Wales.
  • She was named the player of the match for her contributions.
  • In the T20 competition, she took eight wickets in seven matches.
  • In a series for the Australian Under-21s against New Zealand Emerging Players, Osborne was dismissed once in scoring 129 runs and took six wickets at 15.50.
  • Osborne was selected for the Rose Bowl series at the end of the season but had limited opportunities because of the presence of Sthalekar and Nitschke.
  • She played in six of the eight ODIs and bowled less than half of the possible number of overs, taking five wickets at 32.20.
  • She played in only one of the five T20 internationals, taking 1/13 from two overs.
