Jean Fay Field (née McNaughton, born 10 April 1936, Johannesburg, South Africa) is a former Southern Transvaal and South Africa Test cricketer. A right-arm medium-fast bowler and tail-end right-handed batsman, McNaughton made three Test appearances for her country. She was the first South African woman to take a five-wicket haul in a Test match.
Career
Part of the Southern Transvaal women's cricket team, McNaughton made her first appearance of the English tour in 1960–61 for her club side.[1] Batting at number five, she scored 15 runs in 22 minutes.[2] In the English innings, she only bowled four overs, taking no wickets and conceding 22 runs.[2]
Playing in South Africa's first Test match she made a pair,[3] becoming only the second woman, after England's player/manager Netta Rheinberg in 1949,[4] to do so on debut.[5] She also remained wicket-less in the match, bowling a total of nine overs.[3] She didn't play in the second Test,[1] and scored one run in each of her two innings for South African XI women against England during a tour match.[6]
Back in the team for the third Test at Sahara Stadium Kingsmead, Durban, McNaughton claimed six of the eight English wickets to fall in their first-innings,[7] making her the first South African woman to take a five-wicket haul in Test cricket.[8] In spite of her achievement, England won the match by eight wickets.[7] In the final Test of the series, she scored her highest total in Test cricket, hitting 28 runs to help give her team a first-innings lead, and support Yvonne van Mentz as she closed in on her century.[9]
