Now I know this is (really) old, but every time I get to North Sydney Oval, I see the Mollie Dive Stand.
And here's some goss about the one and only Mollie Dive:
In 1948 Mollie was selected to captain Australia in her first Test, played against New Zealand at Wellington and won by Australia. She made centuries against Auckland and Otago, ending with a tour average of 78.7. In 1949 she was the first Australian female captain to win an Ashes series, and in 1951 a drawn series made her the first to retain the Ashes in England.
When she wasn't playing Test cricket, Mollie was representing NSW in hockey.
And in her spare time she worked as a scientist with the CSIRO.
Mollie was awarded the Order of Australia medal in 1987.
