During the Women’s World Cup in New Zealand recently, Courtney Walsh spoke of a West Indian cricketer who reminded him of his former teammate Viv Richards. The Windies coach said Deandra Dottin had the kind of never-say-die attitude and self-belief that the legend had.
Like Richards, Dottin could also be destructive with the bat. She is in fact one of the hardest hitters in the women’s game.
She scored the first hundred in the women’s T20I in 2010 and it came off just 38 balls, in the opening match of the World T20 against South Africa at Basseterre.
