On January 25, 1958, in the second Test of the Women's Ashes series, Betty Wilson delivered a spellbinding performance with the ball. As Australia took to the field, Wilson showcased her unmatched control, flight, and spin, immediately unsettling the English batters.

Wilson's figures of 7/7 in the first innings were nothing short of remarkable. Her magical spin and impeccable accuracy flummoxed the English batting line-up, as she took wickets at regular intervals. The English batters  struggled to read her deliveries, falling prey to her subtle variations in flight and spin.

Once again, Wilson displayed her mastery over spin bowling, bamboozling the opposition batters with her guile and control. Wilson's figures of 4/17 in the second innings were a testament to her skill and dominance, as she relentlessly spun a web around the rival batters, sealing Australia's victory.
