Unlike a sport like tennis, where female professional athletes are well treated and as appreciated as the male professional athletes, cricket has been a predominantly male sport which hasn’t already had the ability to take the sort of efforts called for in order to boost ladies’s cricket. Regardless of the first ever women’s Test suit occurring way back in 1934, the fact that they are still fighting for relevance and importance is a sad reflection on the state of females’s cricket.

The England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB), to their credit scores however, took a large leap for females’s cricket just recently by announcing main contracts for their players, and also we seriously really hope that other cricketing boards can follow suit in this regard in the imminent future.

What should make it twice as annoying for ladies is the fact that they have actually had the ability to accomplish some superior tasks in the game also prior to the men have had the ability to, but they have not able to draw the type of focus they are entitled to for their ability.Here are five records which women cricketers attained prior to guys:

1 Double hundred in ODI cricket

There was tremendous party when Sachin Tendulkar had smashed 200 * in an ODI against South Africa at Gwalior in 2010, apparently coming to be the 1st ever cricketer to score a double-hundred in ODI cricket. But, in actual fact, Australian woman cricketer Belinda Clark had overshadowed the 200 spots, well before Tendulkar, when she played a superior knock of 229 * from a mere 155 rounds against Denmark in the 1997 Female’s Globe Cup.

Clark, that is just one of the best females cricketers of all-time, likewise became the initial female cricketer to be sworn in into the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame throughout the 2014 Allan Boundary Medal Event.

2 Complete of 400 in an ODI innings

Australia accomplished just what seemed a very one-of-a-kind accomplishment back then when they scratched up a total amount of 434/4 on the board against South Africa at Johannesburg in 2006. South Africa, certainly, after that went on to far better Australia’s efforts by chasing down the document total from their 50 overs. [AdSense-B]

Since then, lots of guys’s teams have taken place to score overalls of 400 as well as above in ODI cricket.The difference, nevertheless, of being the first ever team to rack up 400 in ODI cricket will continue to be with the Australian ladies’s team, as they had racked up 412/3 from their 50 overs throughout a Globe Cup game versus Denmark in 1997, the extremely game where Belinda Clark racked up a dual hundred.

 

3 100 runs as well as 10 wickets in a Test suit

Australian women cricketer Betty Wilson was the first ever player (man or female) to score hundred runs and take 10 gates in a Test suit, racking up a total of 112 runs and having figures of 11/16 in a Test suit against England in Melbourne in February 1958. Wilson had a disappointing very first innings with the bat as she made just 12 in Australia’s abysmal rating of 38. However she made up for it with the sphere with figures of 10.3-4-7-7, thus playing a crucial duty in bowling England out for 35 and also gaining a slender lead of 3.

Called as the “women Bradman”, Wilson then showed her course with the bat as she added 100 of the 202 runs that Australia made in the Second innings before subsequenting with bowling numbers of 4/9 to finish off a splendid all-round display from Wilson.Alan Davison, that was the initial in guys’s cricket to attain this feat, just did so a few years later on in 1960. Ian Botham and Imran Khan are the various other two male cricketers in Davison’s business, while Enid Bakewell is the only other woman.

4 Many successive victories in T20 internationals

Taking into consideration the uncertain nature of the T20 layout, it is rather an accomplishment for the England females’s group to have won no less than 14 T20 games on the trot, with their unbeaten run having actually lasted from 30 October, 2011 to 15 September, 2012.

Extremely, nearly all of these success were by an extensive margin, which goes to show the dominant nature of the England women.In guys’s cricket, the team with one of the most consecutive T20 victories is likewise England, having actually won 8 suits straight in 2010. Their run lasted from 6 Might, 2010 till 12 January, 2011, with 5 of those games coming during their victorious 2010 Globe T20 project.

5 Number of ODI Globe Cups won

While the Australian guys have won the ICC Cricket World Cup 4 times – 1987, 1999, 2003 and also 2007 – which is one of the most in the men’s game, the women’s team has actually won it an incredible 6 times.

The first ever females’s World Cup was held in 1973 as well as ever since, the event has been held at occasional periods. Australia won 3 of the first 4 editions in 1978, 1982 and 1988, then followed it up with victories in 1997, 2005 and also, most lately, 2013.
