context_page_description: Rene Farrell is an Australian cricketer. A fast-medium pace bowler, she is a current member of the Australian team. On 1 December 2019, Farrell announced her retirement from Women's Big Bash League.
  Although Farrell was successful in age-group interstate cricket, she did not make her senior debut for New South Wales until late in the 2006–07 season a month before turning 20. Her state made the finals series, and in the first match she took 3/27 and was unbeaten on one as they took a one-wicket victory—the closest possible result in a winning run-chase. New South Wales went on to claim the title, and Farrell was then selected for the national team to play New Zealand in the Rose Bowl series after only five matches—half a season of senior domestic cricket. Making her debut in the fourth of five matches, Farrell took 3/36 to help Australia seal the series. However, her rapid rise came to a halt during the 2007–08 season. She took only eight wickets in the WNCL season and was dropped from the national team, missing three bilateral series for Australia before the start of the following summer.

Making her debut in the fourth of five matches, Farrell took 3/36 to help Australia seal the series. However, her rapid rise came to a halt during the 2007–08 season. She took only eight wickets in the WNCL season and was dropped from the national team, missing three bilateral series for Australia before the start of the following summer. Farrell transferred to Western Australia and while taking nine wickets, she also made 172 runs at a batting average of 34.40, a figure comparable to those of specialist batsmen, earning herself a recall to the Australian team. She took 3/26 against New Zealand in her first match back and played in six of Australia's seven matches at the 2009 World Cup, totalling seven wickets. After taking five wickets in three Twenty20 matches against New Zealand before departing for the 2009 Twenty20 in England, Farrell played in all of Australia's four matches despite taking only one wicket at an economy rate of 8.92, and was sometimes used as a pinch-hitter to score quick runs. 
  During the bilateral series that followed against the hosts, Farrell made her Test debut, taking a total of 3/36, but she managed only one wicket in five ODIs. Afterwards, she stayed in England for a stint with Nottinghamshire and hit two centuries to end with 413 runs at 59.00. Returning to Australia for the 2009–10, she had her most prolific WNCL campaign, scoring 171 runs and taking 18 wickets, including her first five-wicket haul. Farrell played in the Rose Bowl series afterwards, and after taking one wicket in each of the five ODIs in Australia, was dropped for three fixtures in New Zealand.
