Betty Wilson

Betty Wilson was a prominent Australian cricketer, often referred to as the "female Bradman" in reference to Don Bradman. She played Test cricket for Australia from 1948 to 1958, a time when women's cricket was less common. Wilson achieved several significant milestones, including taking the first hat-trick in women's cricket and scoring three Test centuries. Notably, she was the first cricketer, male or female, to achieve a century and take 10 wickets in a single Test match. The Betty Wilson Award is now presented annually to the most promising young female cricketer in Australia.
