Gerald Durani Martineau ( ? - died May 29, 1976 at Lyme Regis) was a prolific English Cricket writer She put her ideas into practice, making great declarations, trusting her keen eyes, ready to hit the first ball for four, and always on the attack. There have been less chancy batsmen but her aim was ever to get on top of the bowling, so that the rate of scoring almost always quickened on her arrival. With a particularly strong on drive 'off her toes', she put character into her strokes, and there has been no better batsman". Her bowling suffered because of her concentration in batting, and her captaincy was described as inspiring.
