Katherine Anne Blackwell (born 31 August 1983) is a former Australian
Kate Blackwell played four Tests and 41 One Day International matches for Australia.[1] She is the 145th woman to play Test cricket for Australia,[2] and the 102nd woman to play One Day International cricket for Australia.[3]
As of June 2014[update] she has played 136 domestic limited-overs matches including 82 Women's National Cricket League games for the New South Wales Breakers.[4]
Blackwell along with Karen Rolton holds the record for the highest 4th wicket runstand in WT20I history (sharing 147*)[5][6]
When asked about the frequent comparisons in the Australian media of the Blackwell twins to male cricketers, she said, "We look up to them a lot, but female cricketers should be recognised for themselves, not as the equivalent of Mark Waugh or Steve Waugh or Matthew Hayden or anybody."[7]
