Best batswoman of all time

I have seen many experts, statisticians, cricket fans debating who is the best batsman of all time but what about the best batswoman of all time? So I thought of analyzing about who can be the best batswoman of all time.

Heyhoe Fint

It is always said that Hey Hoe Fint was the one who brought respectability to women’s cricket . As a player she was said to be very good in defence also SHE could play attacking shots and was rightfully inducted into MCC in 04. She also captained the England side.

Janette Brittin

I was fortunate enough to see this player from Surrey who also played for England. Her greatest strength was that once she got settled at the crease she had the ability to get big scores as she had a good defence. Brittin played for nearly 20 years for England and still holds the record for the most number of runs in test cricket.

Karen Rolton

She was another fine player from Australia. Her greatest strength is that she is powerful and generates great amount of bat speed. She is easily the most powerful batswoman I have seen . She is also the captain of the present Australian side. Finally when one remembers Rolton everyone remembers her great innings against South Africa in the 2001 world Cup and in that innings it rained sixes from her bat. It even made Murdoch sit up and take notice and the media mogul even took the gamble of televising that tournament. It just shows the kind of impact she made in that tournament.

Mithali Raj

Now how can I leave the Indian lass Mithali Raj who holds the record for highest individual score in test cricket. She is a very sweet timer of the ball and once she gets set has the ability to get big scores. A very fine player indeed. She is a connoisseur’s delight.

Anjum Chopra

Another fine Indian player who too has served India well over the years. Chopra the lefthander is another sweet timer of the ball who can be good to watch.

Charlotte Edwards

The present captain of England may not have had the best of world cup still she too is a fine player. Edwards is very strong off her legs and can get big scores.

Hockley

Probably she was the best batswoman of NZ. Her greatest strength was her ability to be innovative. A very seasoned campaigner indeed.

Belinda Clark

For me the best batswoman of all time has to be Belinda Clark. I did not see the legendary Hey hoe Fint but whatever I have seen of Belinda Clark makes me think that she was the most complete batswoman of all time. She had all the shots in the book and played some great innings like that double hundred against Pakistan in the 97 world Cup. Yes the bowling attack was weak still it was a fine performance from her and who can forget her valiant 90 odd in the 2001 world cup final and one has to say that her stroke play in that knock as exemplary especially her footwork against spinners.

Upcoming players like Claire Taylor and the new sensation Sarah Taylor who is also an competent keeper too are really good and one count Stahlekar of Australia as well.
