Laura, it’s little wonder that she was regarded as Bradmanesque in her time. Mighty handy with the ball, too.
Especially love the photos.

Am I correct in saying she is the only Australian cricketer to take 10 wickets and make 100 plus runs in a Test match? Great trivia question along with Richie Benaud,s wives?
