A Ten News report from 1983 on a women's cricket state fixture. The reporter talks to NSW Captain Lyn Larsen about the differences between the women's and men's games.
In the early 1980s it was uncommon to see women's cricket updates in prime-time news, so this report is somewhat unusual.
However, despite featuring in the news bulletin as a standalone item, the players can't avoid having their game and their talent compared to that of their male counterparts.
The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia acknowledges Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live and gives respect to their Elders both past and present.
