Denise Audrey Annetts (

married name Denise Anderson; born 30 January 1964) is an Australian former cricketer who played as a right-handed batter. She appeared in 10 Test matches and 43 One Day Internationals for Australia between 1985 and 1993. She played domestic cricket for New South Wales.[1][2]

Career

Annetts first appeared for New South Wales in the 1983/84 season, and after a couple of low scores, she made her first half-century against Australian Capital Territory in her third match before being

New Zealand the following month. She scored 26* on her One Day International debut as Australia chased down a low New Zealand total to win by nine wickets.[5]

Her maiden ODI half-century came the following season when she made 57 runs opening the batting with

England, Annetts scored her second half-century during the Third ODI against Ireland,[7] before making a century against Surrey, including a 184-second-wicket partnership with Lindsay Reeler, a portent of things to come.[8] She scored 36*[9] and 50[10] in the two ODIs followed by 34 on her Test debut, a match dominated by Haggett's 126.[11]

On her second Test appearance, Annetts came in to partner Lindsay Reeler with the score on 2/37 after Denise Emerson and Belinda Haggett had fallen early.[12] The pair put on a record wicket partnership for any wicket in Women's Test cricket history of 309 runs, with Annetts making her top score of 193, while Reeler finished on 110*.[12][13] She also holds the record of highest average in Women's Test Cricket.

In January 1994, she claimed her omission from the Australian team was because she was not a lesbian. The Australian Anti-Discrimination Board could not investigate the complaint as the discrimination law only protected homosexuals.[14]
