England’s former captain, Charlotte Edwards has all praise for the mighty Australian all-rounder, Elysse Perry and he did not shy away from rating her Australian counterpart as the ‘greatest female player’.
Perry was unbelievable during the recently concluded Women’s Ashes series, where she emerged as the highest run-scorer with 378 runs at an average of 94.50 and the highest wicket-taker with 15 wickets to her name.
Edwards, who played against her back in 2008 when she was mainly a bowler who could bat a little, believes the 28-year-old Australian will only get better with time and it is scary to think about.
“You knew then she’d become an unbelievable batter, she was mainly a bowler in my career and now we see what an unbelievable allrounder she is and the greatest female player we’re ever going to see,” the former England skipper said. “She’s getting better and better with age, she’s only 28, it’s quite scary really to think what she can achieve in the next few years.”
Perry, who has represented Australia in football as well, got her name in the history books by becoming the only cricketer in the history to score 1,000 T20I runs and 100 wickets in the format.
