Jessica Evelyn Cameron (born 27 June 1989) is an Australian cricketer. A batsman, she is a current member of the Victorian Spirit and the Australian women's cricket team. Cameron made her debut for Victoria in the 2006–07 Women's National Cricket League. She played in all 11 matches but was placed low in the batting order and did not have much time at the crease, scoring 92 runs at 18.40 and taking three wickets. At the end of the season she was selected in the Australia Youth team to play New Zealand A, and took 6/28 in one match, ending the series with nine wickets at 9.77. The following WNCL season, Cameron made only 35 runs in her first four matches and was dropped for the remainder of the competition, although she was selected in the Australian Under-21 team to play against England and Australia. The 2008–09 season started with a similar series, this time against Australia and India, and Cameron scored consecutive half-centuries and totalled 157 runs at 78.50. Cameron scored 206 runs at 22.88 in the WNCL season and won a call-up to the national team. She made her debut in the Rose Bowl series and after failing to capitalise on her starts in the first three matches, was dropped. Cameron was selected in six of Australia's seven matches for the 2009 World Cup, scoring 81 runs at 16.20 as the hosts placed fourth. She also played in the World Twenty20 in England but was dropped after the first match. She played in three of the five subsequent ODIs against England but failed to pass single figures. Cameron made 236 runs at 26.22 in the 2009–10 WNCL to retain her position in the national squad for the Rose Bowl series, forcing her way into the team mid-way through the series. In the last three ODIs she played as makeshift wicket-keeper after Alyssa Healy was left out, and made her maiden ODI half-century, 68, in the first of these three matches. ==Domestic debut== At the age of 17, Cameron made her senior debut for Victoria in the Women's National Cricket League and played in all 11 of their matches for the 2006–07 season. In her first match, against reigning champions New South Wales, she made 12 runs in Victoria's 8/131 and then conceded six runs from her only over and took a catch as New South Wales reached their target with three wickets in hand. The next day Victoria won the second match of the double header, but Cameron was neither required to bat or bowl in the six-wicket win.〔 In her first year, Cameron often batted at No. 7 or lower, and was not a frontline bowler, so she was effectively hidden from much of the play. She batted six times and bowled in seven matches, and in four matches, did neither.〔 Her most productive outing with the bat came in the first match of a double-header against Queensland, when she made 29 not out in a 57-run win. The next day, she took her best bowling figures of the season with 2/29, but it was not enough to prevent an 80-run defeat.〔 Victoria won six of their eight round-robin matches to qualify second for the three-match finals series, which were hosted by New South Wales in Sydney.〔 In the first match, Cameron scored 28 as the hosts were bowled out for 136. New South Wales scored relatively freely from her bowling in a low-scoring match, taking 19 runs from her five overs as they reached their target of 137 with only one wicket in hand.〔 Cameron neither batted nor bowled in the second match as Victoria levelled the series with an eight-wicket victory to force a deciding third final. She made 12 as Victoria batted first and made 7/205, but the visitors reached the target with three wickets in hand, scoring 16 runs from Cameron's two overs before she was relieved from the attack.〔 Cameron ended her season with 92 runs at 18.40 and three wickets at 39.66 at an economy rate of 3.83.〔 Immediately after the WNCL season, Cameron was called into the Australia Youth team to play against New Zealand A, where she had more success as a bowler than a batsman. She was expensive in the first two matches, taking 1/37 from six overs and 2/24 from four overs. Australia won the first and the second match was tied. In the third and final match, she took 6/28 to dismiss New Zealand for 234. She made 17 but this was not enough to prevent a 22-run defeat.〔 Cameron ended the series with 20 runs at 10.00 and nine wickets at 9.77.〔 Cameron had a poor start to the 2007–08 WNCL season, scoring 35 runs at 8.75 in Victoria's first four matches. She was run out in the latter two innings, and did not bowl, and was left out of the team for the remaining four games.〔 She also took her only wicket in a senior match, taking 1/6 in a T20 match against Queensland. Nevertheless she was selected in the Australian Under-21 team at the end of the season to play against the senior England and Australian teams. In the first match, against England, she struck an unbeaten 53, before taking 2/32 and a catch in a 52-run win.〔 In the following game, also against England, she made a duck and went wicketless in a defeat, before taking 1/31 and a catch in an eight-wicket win over Australia.〔 The new 2008–09 season started with a similar series, this time against Australia and India, although the Under-21s lost all of the three completed matches—a fourth was washed out.〔 Cameron made 60 of 149 all out against India and then an unbeaten 79, scoring more than half of the team's 5/156 against Australia, in the last two matches. She ended with 157 runs at 78.50 and took two wickets at 54.00. Her bowling was uneconomical, conceding 5.68 runs per over, and she was attacked by the senior Australian women in the last match, conceding 36 runs in three overs. She has not bowled in a competitive match against senior opposition since then.〔 In the 2008–09 WNCL, Cameron played in all of Victoria's nine matches and scored 206 runs at 22.88 with a best of 58. In the last two round-robin matches of the season, she was one of the few Victorian batsmen to resist the bowling attack of the reigning champions New South Wales, scoring 36 and 58 in her team's 142 and 7/227 respectively. Victoria lost both matches, having won their first six fixtures, and New South Wales hosted the final the following week. Cameron made a duck and New South Wales won the match by six wickets to defend their title.〔 In two domestic T20 matches, Cameron made 21 not out and 10.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jess Cameron」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
