Betty Wilson was the first cricketer to score a century and take 10 wickets in the same Test

Betty Wilson had to wait for the second World War to get over so that she could represent Australia in International Women’s Cricket. Although the statistics show just 11 Tests alongside her name, she holds a number of scarcely believable records.

One of the greatest all-rounder of the women's sport, Wilson became the first cricketer - both male and female - to score a century and take 10 wickets in the same Test match. She also took the first hat-trick in women’s Test cricket. Wilson breathed her last in 2010.
