Batting at number 11 she was bowled by Anne Palmer, the Australian off-spinner, for a duck in England's first innings. Valentine did not bowl in the first innings. However, she was given an opportunity to bowl in the second innings. Valentine bowled just five overs while claiming her first international wicket when she bowled out Kath Smith. In the innings she conceded nine runs in Australia's second innings. England went on to win the match by nine wickets. The match was Valentine's only international appearance.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“Work-family conflicts—the trade-offs of your money or your life, your job or your child—would not be forced upon women with such sanguine disregard if men experienced the same career stalls caused by the-buck-stops-here responsibility for children.”
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
