New historical photographs from the State Library of New South Wales, a favorite Flickr Commons photostream.

Rita Trudget [Trudgett ?], wicket keeper
Unidentified women’s cricket team, c. 1930s
Ladies Cricket match-Glen Innes, NSW, c.1900
the “wickie” in the sundress is fantastic.
Rita takes top marks from me.
But I fear she was not the first choice for the team.
Good advert for caps worn at rakish angles.
these are SO SO GREAT!!
Love Rita Trudget!!
I wish sportswomen/men looked as put together today. The hats are particularly splendid.
Cricket is such a fantastically pretty sport.
