2010/11 was Ellyse Perry’s fourth season in the Women’s National Cricket League and she hasn’t even celebrated her 21st birthday!
She was once again one of the Lend Lease Breakers’ leading bowlers with eight wickets in the Twenty20 competition at an average of 17.50, and best figures of 3-12. In the 50 over competition she took 13 wickets, the most in the competition, at 9.23. Her 5-11 against the ACT were also the best ever figures achieved by a NSW bowler in the WNCL.
She was selected for the Australian team to play New Zealand and England but in a rare occurrence, she was dropped for one of the Twenty20 internationals against England. However, she bounced back in the one-off Ashes Test, taking four first innings wickets in the team’s victory.
Perry also took on the boys last summer, playing for Sydney’s Poidevin Gray Shield (U/21) team for one round. She opened the bowling and took two wickets in her four overs, with her appearance helping to raise money for the McGrath Foundation.
