goss played with western australia until 1995-96 when she moved to victoria .
goss returned to play with wa in 1999-2000 .
goss was first selected in the australian women 's side for the rose bowl series against new zealand in january 1987 .
although having already established herself as a genuine fast bowler and a brilliant all-rounder at interstate level , it was not until the following rose bowl in january 1988 that she first produced an outstanding performance at international level .
in the third match of the series in wellington , goss guided australia to victory with an unbeaten 96 , an innings that remained her highest one day international score .
goss scored 1099 odi runs at an average of 29.70 including 7 fifties and took 64 wickets at an average of 19.15 , her best bowling being 4 for 10 against ireland in christchurch during the 2000 world cup .
goss played in four world cups for australia , playing when australia won the final in 1988 , then again in their unsuccessful defence in 1993 , as a squad member when australia regained the trophy in 1997 and finally as a member of the australian side that lost the 2000 final to new zealand , her final match for australia .
goss 's performances at test level were not as impressive , averaging just 23.33 with a highest score of 48 and taking 20 wickets at an average of 25.55 .
she was also named player of the series in the 1995-96 australian women 's cricket championship and again in the 1996-97 women 's national cricket league .
despite her record in women 's cricket , goss 's most famous cricketing appearance was in the bradman foundation charity match in sydney in december 1994 .
having been called into the bradman xi side when rugby league player paul vautin withdrew due to illness , goss scored 29 before taking 2 for 60 from her ten overs , including the wicket of brian lara who had broken the records for highest test innings and highest first-class innings earlier in the year .
after finishing her international career , goss later went on to play for tuart hill cricket club in the waca women 's competition .
