On 17 October 2016 she scored a hattrick for the club against Bodyline.
Veteran pace bowler Bill Voce was recalled in place of his former Bodyline series colleague Bowes.
The series ended in a 4-1 win for England but the Bodyline tactics used were banned the year after.

His last tour in 1932-33 included the controversial“Bodyline” series,
in which Sutcliffe is perceived to have been one of Douglas Jardine‘s main supporters.
According to Bill O'Reilly,
Sutcliffe was the strongest advocate of Bodyline and he sometimes acted like an“unofficial captain”,
even initiating the tactics on his own responsibility.
However, a close friend of Sutcliffe insisted that Sutcliffe“was always behind authority” and
was absolutely loyal to his captain, but his private views about Bodyline were another matter.
The 228 he made against Victoria in the tour matches was described as"one of the greatest ever played" in Australia,
by a recognized member of Bill Woodfull's 1932 Bodyline side, Victor Richardson.
One instance of excessive use was the Bodyline series, where the English Cricket Captain at the time(1932-1933),
Douglas Jardine, employed a tactic to restrain the skills of the Australian cricket team, and their star player, Donald Bradman.
Test cricket remained the sport's highest level of standard throughout the 20th century but it had its problems,
notably in the infamous"Bodyline Series" of 1932-33 when Douglas Jardine's
England used so-called"leg theory" to try and neutralise the run-scoring brilliance of Australia's Don Bradman.
