With the women’s Ashes series run and won across all three formats, it’s time to look back at what became apparent about Australia’s juggernaut of a cricket team before the upcoming World Cup.
Ellyse Perry is not going anywhere
When the series started off with a 20-over match in Adelaide, there was a general sense of shock: Ellyse Perry was not playing.
Perry basically is Twenty20 cricket in Australia: the national team had played three times before her debut in 2008, and from that point on she played 126 of the next 148 matches. Now she was out.
Not injured, not rested, not rotated – not picked. Her scoring was not deemed fast enough and her bowling had lost bite.
As she came back for the longer formats though, Perry showed her class remains.
For once, she did not dominate the Test with the bat, though…
