Trish McKelvey

Patricia ("Trisha") Frances McKelvey (born in 1942 in Lower Hutt, Wellington, New Zealand) is a former New Zealand cricketer. She played 15 women's Test matches for New Zealand, captaining the side in all of them. The record was two wins, three defeats and five draws. Her Test career spanned the period 1966 to 1978/9, and included Tests against not only traditional rivals England and Australia, but also against South Africa and India. Indeed, the three-Test tour of South Africa in 1971/2, which was won one-nil, was the last official representative match any South African cricket team, men's or women's, would play against South Africa for 18 years as teams boycotted South Africa because of the apartheid regime.

McKelvey scored 699 Test runs at an average of 29.12, with a high score of a mammoth 155 not out. She also captained New Zealand in all 15 women's one-day internationals she played in, winning seven, losing seven, with one tie. McKelvey also played for the International XI that competed in the 1973 women's World Cup in a team that finished fourth out of seven.

McKelvey's 15 Tests as captain means she has captained New Zealand more times than the next two women in the list combined. As of July 2005, she remains the only New Zealand women's Test captain to have won a Test match.
