Ellyse Perry turned out to be the star for Australia on the opening day of the Women’s Ashes 2023 Only Test which is being played at Trent Bridge Nottingham. Perry, who came in to bat in the 10th over, after the fall of first wicket in form of Phoebe Litchfield, struck 82 off 124 balls before rain halted play. Australia had reached 213 for 3 in 51.3 overs, at the time of writing of this article. Scoring the runs at a strike rate of 66.13, Perry oozed class in her stroke-making. Her knock is a testimony to the fact that she has not lost her touch at all, despite battling various injuries in the past.
Perry has played cricket and football at national level
Not many know that Perry has represented Australia in both cricket and football. When she was just 16 years old, she got a taste of cricket. However, she moved on to play football at an elite level and even featured in Australia’s starting lineup in 2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup. She is the first-ever player to play the FIFA as well as ICC Cricket World Cups.
The rain brings about an early tea at Trent Bridge.
