Nick Browne in an attacking mode

Nick Browne has been a success story for Essex in the domestic circuit. He is predominantly a top-order batsman who likes to bat for long periods. At 26 years of age, Browne is pretty young and can be a handy prospect for English cricket, going into the future.

He has played 59 first-class games till date and has racked up close of 4000 runs at a healthy average of 45.56. To add to this, he has as many as 13 tons to go with his 15 half-centuries. His top score of 255 came against Middlesex in the 2016 edition of the County season.

In the current edition of the Specsavers County Championship, Browne has scored a staggering 659 runs in 9 games. His top score came against Middlesex as he compiled together a knock of 211 at Chelmsford.
