About Lara Molins
- Lara Molins Caplin (born Lara Deborah Molins; 28 March 1980) is a former Irish cricketer who played at One Day International (ODI) level for the Irish national side between 1999 and 2001, including at the 2000 World Cup. Born to a Jewish family in Dublin, Molins is the cousin of two brothers, Jason and Greg Molins, who both played for the Irish men's team (though not at ODI level).
- Playing school cricket for Wesley College and club cricket for Railway Union, she made her under-23 debut for Ireland at the age of 16, at the 1996 European Under-23 Championship.
- Molins made her ODI debut for Ireland in June 1999, in a one-off game played while India were touring England.
- She was one of two debutants for Ireland in the match, the other being Isobel Joyce.
- Molins went wicketless, as did every other Irish bowler, as the two Indian opening batsmen (Reshma Gandhi and Mithali Raj) both scored unbeaten centuries.
- She was next selected for an ODI in July 2000, when Pakistan toured to play five ODIs and a single Test (to date, Ireland's only Test against any country).
- Her sole match in that series was the third ODI, when she took 2/34 from 10 overs to help Ireland win by 150 runs.At the 2000 World Cup, played in New Zealand in December 2000, Molins once again played only a single match, against Australia in Christchurch.
- She had no opportunity to bowl, as Australia required only 20 overs to chase down Ireland's target of 90.
- Her next ODI was also against Australia, in Dublin in July 2001, and she again did not bowl, as the match was interrupted by rain.
- The following month, Molins appeared at the 2001 European Championship, playing in matches against England, the Netherlands, and Scotland.
- She took four wickets while conceding just 15 runs, and consequently led the tournament's bowling averages.
- Her best figures came against England (in what was to be her final ODI), when she took 2/5 from two overs to help bowl out England for only 60 (at the time its lowest ODI total).
- Earlier in the tournament, against Scotland, Molins had taken the remarkable figures of 1/0 from five overs, bowling 30 balls without conceding a run.
- Only New Zealand's Debbie Hockley has bowled more overs without conceding a run (six, against Ireland in 1988).
