Ellyse Alexandra Perry, born 3 November 1990 is an Australian sportswoman who made her debut for both the Australian cricket and football (soccer) teams at the age of 16. She played her first cricket international in July 2007 before earning her first football cap for Australia a month later. Perry is the youngest person, male or female, to represent Australia in cricket and the first Australian woman to have appeared in both cricket and association football World Cups.
Perry was fast-tracked to make her One Day International (ODI) debut for Australia against New Zealand before playing a single match for her state New South Wales in the Women's National Cricket League (WNCL). In 2007–08, she made her debut for New South Wales and won the WNCL with them, and at the end of the season, she made her Test debut in Bowral against England. During the season, she was the player of the match in her Twenty20 international debut against England, and made her maiden ODI half-century against New Zealand.
Perry took 4/23 in the final of the 2008–09 WNCL to help New South Wales defend their title. She then took nine wickets as Australia came fourth in the 2009 World Cup held in Australia. She was ineffective during the 2009 ICC Women's World Twenty20 in England, taking only two wickets in Australia's four matches.
In 2009–10, Perry took 22 wickets and scored 148 runs as New South Wales won the WNCL again. She then took 18 wickets in 10 ODIs against New Zealand at the end of the season, as the Australians won all the matches. During these matches, Perry took her maiden five-wicket ODI haul. Perry played in each of Australia's matches at the 2010 World Twenty20 in the West Indies, taking 3/18 and being named player of the match in the final as Australia defeated New Zealand by three runs to claim the title.
A defender, Perry represented Australia at the 2008 Asian Cup, and scored in one of the matches. She played for the Central Coast Mariners in the Australian W-League during the 2008–09 season, before transferring to Canberra United the following year. In June 2010, Perry began her media career by hosting the soccer-related show Football Stars of Tomorrow, screened on the digital sports channel One HD.
Perry was part of the 2010 World Twenty20 winning team in the West Indies and played in all of Australia's matches. She was the player of the match in the final. In the first warm-up match against New Zealand, which Australia lost by 18 runs, Perry took 1/22 from three overs, removing Elizabeth Perry for 10. She then made 2 not out from 2 balls at the end of Australia's innings. In the last warm-up match against Pakistan, Perry was not required to bat as Australia made 5/166. She ran out Pakistani captain Sana Mir and bowled Nida Dar and Batool Fatima to end with 2/13 from 3.3 overs as Australia won by 82 runs.
Australia were grouped with defending champions England, South Africa and the West Indies. In the first match, Perry caught Jenny Gunn from the bowling of Sthalekar and then bowled Katherine Brunt as England collapsed late in their innings, losing 6/22, leaving 15 balls unused. During Australia's pursuit of 105 for victory, Perry came in at 5/60 in the 12th over and made 1 from 3 balls before Gunn ran her out, leaving Australia at 6/62 in the 14th over. This was part of a passage of play during which Australia lost 3/18 in 29 balls, and at 7/63, they needed 42 runs from 34 for victory with three wickets in hand. Eventually, Australia recovered, before Rene Farrell was run out going for the winning run from the third last ball available, leaving the scores tied.
A Super Over eventuated, and both teams made 2/6, suffering run outs in an attempt to secure a seventh run on the final ball. Australia was awarded the match because they had hit more sixes in the match—Jess Cameron scored the solitary six.
In the next match against South Africa, Perry made five runs from ten balls before being caught, the last player dismissed as Australia ended on 155 with three balls unused. This was part of a collapse in the death overs as Australia lost their last six wickets for 16, including the last four wickets for four runs. Perry came in to bat after Australia lost both Cameron and Sarah Elliott with the score on 139, and saw three partners leave before being dismissed herself.[21] In the run-chase, South Africa reached 0/33 from 5.3 overs before Perry ran out their captain Cri-Zelda Brits. Perry later bowled Chloe Tryon late in the innings and ended with 1/16 from three overs as Australia completed a 22-run win.
Perry was not required to bat as Australia finished on 7/133 in the final group match against the West Indies. In the second over of the run-chase, Perry ran out Juliana Nero with a throw to Rene Farrell. She later had Deandra Dottin caught behind for a duck, before dismissing Pamela Lavine in the penultimate over. Perry ended with 2/19 from three overs as Australia won by nine runs to finish the group stage unbeaten at the top of their quartet.
Australia went on to face India in the semi-final, and Perry took 1/19 from her four overs as India made 5/119. At the start of the 17th over bowled by Perry, India were on 2/88, and the partnership between Harmanpreet Kaur and Poonam Raut had yielded 57 runs. Perry ran out Kaur from the first ball of the over, and two balls later, the Indian captain Jhulan Goswami was run out by Blackwell. Perry then had Raut caught from the next ball and India had lost 3/1 in four balls. Perry was required to neither bat nor bowl as the Indians ended with 3/119, which was chased down by the Australians with seven wickets and seven balls to spare.
Australia batted first in the final against New Zealand, and Perry was not required as they reached 106, losing their eighth wicket from the last ball of the innings. New Zealand started their chase solidly, before losing two wickets by the end of the fifth over. Perry's first over was the sixth of the innings, and she dismissed Suzie Bates, who tried to pull but skied the ball down the ground and was caught by Elliott, who ran across from mid-off, for 18. In her following over, the eighth of the innings, Perry uprooted Amy Satterthwaite's off stump with a ball that kept low and New Zealand were in trouble at 4/29 in the eighth over.
In football (soccer), Perry plays as a defender. She played her first match for the Australian national team, an Olympic qualifying match against Hong Kong at the Hong Kong Football Club, 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.
As of July 2008, she has played eleven matches for the national team, including five in the 2008 AFC Women's Asian Cup, where she scored a goal against South Korea.She has also played three matches for the Young Matildas, the Australian youth team.
Her domestic team was the Central Coast Mariners in the Australian W-League during the 2008–09 season.
Perry 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.
Perry left the Central Coast Mariners and began playing for Canberra United at the start of the 2009 W-League season.
At the annual Westfield W-League awards dinner in 2009, Perry was jointly awarded the Young Player of the Year Award with Brisbane Roar's Elise Kellond-Knight and won three club awards for the season – the Player's, Supporter's and overall Club player of the year.
Perry was selected in the Matildas squad for the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup in Germany. In the Norway vs Australia group game, Perry came on as a late substitute, and thus became the first Australia woman to represent Australia at a senior World Cup in two different sports, namely cricket and association football. Perry was in the starting line-up for the quarter final against Sweden in which match, with Australia down 0–2, Perry scored Australia's opening goal.
Choice of sport
Both cricket and football (soccer) 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. In 2010 Perry was faced with the decision whether to play for Australia at the ICC World Twenty20 or at the 2010 AFC Women's Asian Cup which overlapped, of which she chose cricket.
On 29 May 2012 it was reported in the AGE newspaper that Heather Reid, the chief executive of her football club Canberra United FC, had given Perry an ultimatum to choose between football and cricket: "to choose whether she wants to be a full-time Canberra United player and commit to training every day like everyone else does, … Or if she still wants to try and mix her cricket commitment with football, then perhaps she will need to find another club.
