Marianne Herbert

An opening bowler with consistent line and length, Marianne Herbert is considered one of Ireland's key members. Hard work over the 2007 summer (including 2 for 16 against Sussex and 3 for 16 against Scotland) earned her a place in the World Cup qualifiers squad, where Ireland hope to overhaul Pakistan, and the rest of their group, to gain a place at the 2009 jamboree in Australia.
