But she will make sure she does just that on Saturday when she becomes the first woman to play 100 senior games in the Ballarat Cricket Association.

Sculley will line-up in the fifths for Ballarat-Redan when they take on Buninyong as the team looks for its first win of the season.

"It's pretty special, I probably wouldn't have thought I'd get here, it was a big deal just to be playing senior cricket, I never thought I'd get to 100."

Starting her career at Coronet City, Sculley played 24 games over a number of years, punctuated when she broke her hand after dropping a catch in the slips.

"It took me four seasons at Coronet City, but it was just time for a change so I went to Ballarat-Redan and have been here ever since," she said.

"I never used to drop any catches, but I have dropped a few since."

Sculley's first taste of senior cricket came when she was just a junior where she played one game for Naps-Sebas many years before she was of age.

"I got a first ball duck, it wasn't a stellar debut it must be said," she laughed. Sculley said she was proud that she could be considered somewhat of a pioneer for women in cricket in this city.

"Before I started playing, there certainly wasn't many women playing cricket," she said.

"And if they did play, it was always just for one or two seasons and then they would go off to other things.

"For me, I've never had a reason to stop. I love the game and I love playing among the men. It would be great to see more women playing the game on a Saturday."

She said she was thrilled to see the strength of Ballarat women's cricket, particularly with the Ballarat Bolts the reigning premiers and starting the season with an emphatic 10-wicket win

She said she was looking forward to getting out there in the Ballarat Cricket Association women's Twenty20 competition in February.

"Ballarat-Redan will have a team in that, that will be really exciting," she said.

"Obviously the women still don't have the amount of players as the men do, but we have to start somewhere, you look at women's football and what it's doing now. I think it's great that those pathways are opening up for women now. It would be great if we could get to a stage like that in cricket as well."

Sculley, an off-spinner, has best figures of 5-22 "a few years ago, I think it was against Golden Point," she says.

"I've taken five wickets three times, but I'm very much the tailender when it comes to the bat.

"I don't think I've quite scored 100 runs yet as a batter, so this is the first century I've made."

Sculley said the ideal day would be to help her side to its first win of the season, and she would love to score a couple of runs on the way to doing just that. "We've had two losses so far, but we've been quite competitive and just haven't been able to get across the line," she said.
