Profile
The Commonwealth Bank Southern Stars vice-captain is one of the most experienced players in the line-up with more than 100 games of experience to her name. Combine that with captaining her country for an extended period during 2009 and 2010 in the absence of Jodie Fields and Blackwell is a pivotal member of the squad.
She is a vital member of the middle-order with her powerful and precise stroke play and her leadership skills are a massive benefit to those younger players batting around her.
Away from cricket Blackwell has started a new career as a Genetic Counsellour and studied medicine and that theory was put in to practice in 2008 when she revived an 80-year-old patron by performing CPR in him during a rain delay in a club game while playing in England.
