The Australian cricket community is mourning the loss of Faith Thomas, the first Aboriginal woman to play Test cricket for Australia, who passed away at the age of 90. Thomas (nee Coulthard) played her groundbreaking Test match for Australia against England at Melbourne's Junction Oval in February 1958, when she became the first Aboriginal woman to play for any Australian sports team.
