A middle-order batsman, Mollie Child was one of the key members of the first major women's tour when England travelled to Australia in 1934-35. She played in all three Tests without scoring much, although it was a low-scoring series, but in the one-off Test in New Zealand she hit an unbeaten 86 in a thumping innings-and-337-run win. She played in the first two Tests of the return series in 1937 but was dropped after making 22 runs in four innings.
