He was very supportive of the idea and felt it was a worthwhile project.
"Elizabeth Rebecca "Betty" Wilson" was considered one of the greatest woman cricket players of all time. She represented Australia national women's cricket team/Australia in Women's Test cricket between 1947–48 and 1957–58. Wilson batted right-handed, and was a good off-spin bowler and a superb fielder.
Born in Melbourne, Wilson grew up in the inner neighbourhood of Collingwood, Victoria/Collingwood and learned the game by playing against a lamp post in her street. At the age of 10, she joined the Collingwood Women's Cricket Club where she played with the adults. She made it to the Victoria (Australia)/Victoria second XI at the age of 14, and to the senior side at 16.
The Second World War delayed her Test appearances till 1948. On her debut against New Zealand national women's cricket team/New Zealand, she scored 90 and took 4/37 and 6/28. In her second Test, she scored 111 against English Women's Cricket Team/England becoming the first Australian woman to score a Test century against England, and took nine more wickets.
She toured England in 1951 and scored 81 in the first Test at Scarborough, North Yorkshire/Scarborough. Against Yorkshire, she scored 100* in 77 minutes, leading Australia to a last ball win. After this series, she stayed in England for two and a half years.

In life there is always something you feel you are meant to do and this is the one thing I feel I need to do.
It was just all of a sudden. I thought it looked terrible back in there and I felt someone had to do something about this.
I think it's pretty clear that we're not ready to report a recommendation to the full commission.
Everyone I have talked to has supported the idea. I haven't talked to anyone who is against it, so hopefully everyone will be able to help by contributing a dollar or two.
