She was not trusted with much responsibility in her first season, and bowled less than 60% of the maximum possible quota of overs, and was dropped mid-way through the finals series against New South Wales, which was lost. After touring Sri Lanka with the Australian Under-23 team in September 2004, Hunter played in Victoria's triumphant 2004–05 WNCL team. After being attacked in the first final against New South Wales, she was dropped, but returned for the third match and scored 15 and took 2/13 to help seal the WNCL title. Hunter ended the season with nine wickets at 25.44. Starting in 2005–06 Hunter struggled for four seasons, taking 8, 7, 6 and 8 wickets respectively, with her annual average and economy rate rising from 31.00 and 3.70 to 39.75 and 4.33 respectively. In 2009–10, Hunter had her most productive WNCL season, taking 14 wickets at 25.57 as well as 12 wickets at 7.58 in the Twenty20 competition. She was rewarded by national selection for the first time for the Rose Bowl series against New Zealand. She made her ODI debut in the fifth match at the Junction Oval and took her career best figures of 3/40 in her third match on the New Zealand leg of the tour in Invercargill. Hunter has taken seven wickets from four ODIs. In the Twenty20 internationals, she took two wickets in two matches. == Early career == Hunter was selected for the Victoria Blue team to compete in the Under-17 interstate competition in March 2000 at the age of 15. Victoria Blue won all of but one of their seven qualifying matches to reach the final; the only defeat came at the hands of New South Wales, who prevailed over them in the deciding match.〔 Hunter accumulated 137 runs at 22.83 with a best of 44 not out against the Australian Capital Territory, and took 12 wickets at 6.16. She took 3/7 against Tasmania and 3/8 against Queensland. In the final, she took 2/12 from four overs as New South Wales made 8/133 and then scored 34 as Victoria Blue made 9/91 to lose by 32 runs.〔 The following year, she played in two more Under-17 matches, scoring 34 in Victoria's 6/154 before taking 5/9 as Western Australia were dismissed for only 27.〔 For the 2001 tournament, she took six wickets at 3.83 and scored 36 runs at 18.00.〔 In January 2002, she was selected for the Victorian Under-19 team for the interstate tournament. Hunter scored 88 runs at 17.60 and took 11 wickets at 10.90 from six matches.〔 Her best bowling of 3/26 came in another loss to New South Wales, while her top-score of 46 came against the Australian Cricket Board team.〔 She was then selected in the Australia Youth team to play against the senior New Zealand team, but neither batted nor bowled in an Australian defeat.〔 Hunter returned to the Under-19 competition in the following year, and scored 106 runs at 21.20 and took seven wickets at 20.85.〔 Her best batting and bowling performances came in the first match when she took 3/9 as Western Australia were bowled out for 65, before scoring an unbeaten 40 as Victoria reached the target with nine wickets in hand.〔 She was then brought into the Under-19 Australian team for two matches against their English counterparts. Australia won both the matches, although Hunter only took one wicket and scored one run.〔 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「Julie Hunter」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
