Brits, who switched to cricket after injury forced her to retire from javelin, exemplifies the changing career opportunities as women's cricket has professionalised.
Brits is now the first South African woman to make two ODI centuries in their 30s.
This was the first time in an ODI, and second recorded instance in all formats, that Australia women's spin bowlers have taken 9 wickets in the same innings.
Molineux 10-5-10-3
King 6.1-2-15-2
Gardner 10-0-22-2
Wareham 9-2-30-2
The only previous recorded time that Australia women's spinners took 9 or more in the same innings, was when Betty Wilson (4-25), Una Paisley (3-10) and Amy Hudson (3-9) shared all 10 during the 2nd Test v England at the MCG in January 1949.
Anything that can't go on forever will eventually stop. 40 years of declining worker power shattered the American Dream (TM), producing multiple generations whose children fared worse than their parents, cratering faith in institutions and hope for a better future.

Fast-food bosses fucked around, and boy did they find out. Funding for the #IWC passed the state budget, and the franchisee joint liability is set to pass the legislature this week.
