International Career
Valentine represented England in the first women's Test match that was played against Australia in December 1934, but did not make any appearance in international cricket thereafter. 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:
“I began my editorial career with the presidency of Mr. Adams, and my principal object was to render his administration all the assistance in my power. I flattered myself with the hope of accompanying him through [his] voyage, and of partaking in a trifling degree, of the glory of the enterprise; but he suddenly tacked about, and I could follow him no longer. I therefore waited for the first opportunity to haul down my sails.”
—William Cobbett (1762–1835)
