Barbara Cairncross

She appeared in three Test matches for South Africa in 1960 and 1961, all against England, scoring 65 runs in her six innings.[1][2] Cairncross made her first appearance in the series against England for South African XI Women, opening the innings alongside captain Joy Irwin.[3] In the subsequent tour match, she captained a Southern Transvaal side that included five players who would go on to play Test cricket for South Africa.Opening the batting once more, with Eileen Hurly this time, Cairncross fell for 17 as her side could only muster 147 runs, rescued by 68 from Yvonne van Mentz.[5] She failed to make double-figures in the second Test, falling for eight in the first-innings, and four in the second-innings as South Africa were forced to follow-on.
