Could we all take a moment to remember Rachael Heyhoe Flint?
Apart from having a wonderful name, she was a ground-breaking captain of England's women's cricket team, at a time when the women's game was viewed more than a little condescendingly. She went on to become the first woman to serve on the MCC committee. She was also the first woman cricketer to hit a six in a Test match.
My favourite story about her is from a charity match, in which her team played a side made up of prominent male players. Whilst she was batting, she heard two of the slips stage-whisper the following -
First slip "Do women wear a box while batting?"
Second slip "Yes, but they call them manhole covers."
Flint lost neither her sense of humour, not her wicket.

I hadn't heard of her before but on seeing your Q I looked her up and her bio says she epitomised women's cricket in England for more than a generation, bringing it respectability and a higher profile than it had enjoyed before she played. After she retired she continued to promote the sport through her strong media presence and personality.R.I.P. Rachael.
Your Q has disappeared from the cricket section along with many more.
