On June 15, 1968, in the solitary Test match of the Women's Ashes series, Enid Bakewell delivered an awe-inspiring performance with the ball. As England took the field, Bakewell immediately displayed her exceptional control, swing, and guile.

Bakewell's figures of 10/87 in the match were a testament to her unwavering skill and dominance. Bakewell's ability to consistently hit the right areas and extract movement ensured that she constantly posed challenges and induced false shots, resulting in a flurry of wickets.

Bowling with relentless accuracy, Bakewell exploited the conditions and troubled the Australian batters with her swing and seam movement. Bakewell's second-innings figures of 4/40 highlighted her control and resilience, as she relentlessly picked up crucial wickets and stifled any hopes of an Australian revival.
