Ellyse Alexandra Perry (born 3 November 1990) is an Australian sportswoman who played for both the Australia national women's cricket team and the Matildas at the age of 16.

Personal

Perry was born in Wahroonga, Sydney and is currently a student at Pymble Ladies' College in Pymble, Sydney.[1][2]

Cricket

In cricket, Perry is an all-rounder who bats right-handed and bowls with a right-handed fast-medium action.[1][3]

She was selected for the Australian youth team's tour of New Zealand in February 2007, and then for the senior team in July 2007.[3][4] She made her One-Day International debut against New Zealand in Darwin on 22 July 2007 at the age of 16 years and 8 months: this made her the youngest ever cricketer to represent Australia, male or female.[1][5] She is now a regular player in the national side, having played in 26 ODIs with a high score of 51 and best bowling figures of 3 for 21.[1][4]

She made her Test debut against England in Bowral on 15 February 2008 at the age of 17 years and 3 months, becoming the youngest ever Australian Test cricketer as well.[1][6]

She has also played three Twenty20 internationals. She was awarded the player of the match award during her debut game after scoring 29 not out off 25 balls, taking 4-20 off her 4 overs of bowling, and effecting a crucial run out.[7][8][9]

Her domestic team is the New South Wales Breakers.[1][3][4]

Football

In football, Perry plays as a defender.[10] She played her first match for the Australian national team, an Olympic qualifying match against Hong Kong in Hong Kong Stadium, on 4 August 2007. She played this match at the age of 16 years and 9 months, and less than two weeks after her international cricket debut. Perry scored a goal in the second minute of the match as Australia won 8-1.[11]

As of July 2008, she has played eleven matches for the national team, including five in the 2008 AFC Women's Asian Cup,[12][13] where she scored a goal against South Korea.[14] She has also played three matches for the "Young Matildas" Australian youth team.[15]

Her domestic team is the Central Coast Mariners in the Australian W-League.[16]

Ellyse made her debut against Queensland Roar on Saturday, 15 November, 2008 after being substituted on for team-mate Lyndsay Glohe. She then went on to play another 2 games, also off the bench.

Choice of sport

Both cricket and football are keen to retain Perry in their sport. She has accepted in interviews that she will probably one day have to choose between them, but for the moment she is pursuing both.[2][9][17]
