Timeline
Alexandra Joy Blackwell (born 31 August 1983) is a former professional cricketer and Australian women's cricket captain who played for New South Wales and Australia as a specialist batter.
In March 2000, Blackwell was called into the New South Wales team for the under 17 interstate competition.
In the first match, she took 3/7 and wasn't required to bat in a ten wicket victory over Victoria Blue.
Her top-score for the tournament came in the sixth match against Western Australia, when she scored 57 not out.
New South Wales won all of their eight matches to claim the competition and Blackwell ended with 149 runs at 37.25 and seven wickets at 17.00.
After making her international debut in 2002-2003, she went on to play more matches for Australia than any other female cricketer in history.
Blackwell made her international debut in 2003 in a quadrangular One Day International (ODI) tournament.
She had few opportunities with the bat, scoring 54 runs at 27.00 but was unexpectedly successful with the ball, taking a total of 4/34 despite only having one previous wicket at senior level.

Following this, Blackwell was retained for the Second Test at Bankstown Oval in Sydney.
Australia batted first and Blackwell came in at 4/90.
Soon after, her partners Mel Jones and Hayes fell in quick succession as Australia lost 3/13 to be 6/103.

Blackwell came in at 4/49 with Australia still four runs behind in the second innings.
She added 136 in 226 minutes for the fifth wicket with Lisa Sthalekar before being dismissed for 58, having hit six boundaries from 236 balls.

In December 2004 Blackwell participated in a seven-match bilateral ODI series against India.
She played in the first, third, fourth, fifth and sixth matches of the series, ending with 34 runs at 8.50.

Blackwell made six and took 1/8 in the first match, and was then run out for 27 in the next game.
