context_page_description: Rachael Louise Haynes is an Australian cricketer. Predominantly a batswoman, she is a member of the Australian team. Haynes plays for New South Wales in the Women's National Cricket League.
  After rising through the junior ranks at an early age, often playing against girls three years older in interstate age-group competitions, Haynes made her senior debut for Victoria in the WNCL in 2005–06 at 19. She was not successful in her maiden season, scoring 31 runs in four innings. Haynes played a full season in 2006–07, and after making her maiden half-century, featured in the finals series against New South Wales. She made 83 in the second final as Victoria forced a third and deciding match, which they lost. Haynes ended the season with 253 runs. The following season she made one half-century and ended with 239 runs and four wickets as Victoria missed the finals.
  She was selected for the Australia Youth team and in 2008–09, she scored heavily. After breaking through for her maiden century, she made 98 not out in another match and ended the season with 357 runs at 44.62 and two wickets, despite making a duck in the final won by New South Wales.
context_section_description: Haynes was selected for the 2010 World Twenty20 in the West Indies but spent almost the entire tournament watching from the sidelines, playing in only one warm-up match. In the first warm-up match, against New Zealand, she took 0/12 from two overs and then did not bat as Australia made 5/118. She did not play in the next preparatory match as the Australians defeated Pakistan by 82 runs. There was no room for Haynes after fellow Victorian Elyse Villani was brought in to open the batting and the other batsmen were moved down a position. Villani had made 6 from 10 balls and 45 from 36 balls in the two lead-in matches.
  Australia won all three group matches, and then the semi-final and final to take the tournament, and Villani was persisted with throughout even though she only aggregated 28 runs at 5.60 with a strike rate of 73.68.
