Another record for in-form Ellyse Perry at Women’s Ashes 2019

Don’t think about records, just keeping performing well consistently and the records will follow. We have heard many big players saying that they don’t focus on records, rather, concentrate on playing positive cricket. Well, it’s yet again proven. Just when you may think this is the highest level of a particular player, a new record is made.

Australia’s star all-rounder, Ellyse Perry has been so consistent in the ongoing Women’s Ashes series that she claimed her fourth “Player of the Match” award from six games across all the three formats of the series so far.

In addition to this, she became the first player, male or female, to score 1000 runs and take 100 wickets in T20 Internationals after 2nd T20I of Women’s Ashes on 28th July, 2019. Asked about the achievement of the unique feat, she said, “I guess it’s lovely, but I wasn’t aware of it. I have played a pretty big volume of games now.” “When you’ve played 100 games you might get close to it. That’s probably the only reason I’m there – because I’ve played a lot of games,” she added.
