Mumbai, July 16: A hospital nurse has created a record at the mecca of cricket: Lord’s. According to the BBC news, nurse Cathy Rawson on Monday made cricket history by becoming the first woman to keep official scores at an international match at the hallowed venue.
The 55-year-old nurse from Kent became the first woman to keep the score during the NatWest International one-day match between England and South Africa on Saturday. The decision had to be endorsed by the Marylebone Cricket Club, which only admitted its first women members in 1999, 212 years after its inception. Mrs Rawson is a highly-qualified scorer who is also on the executive committee of the Association of Cricket Umpires and Scorers.
