And it all began with that first ball. She pulled out of her run-up twice, clutched her leg, and had all of Australia worried. And even when she did eventually deliver the ball on the third attempt, you could feel from the grimace just how tough this was on her. It says something that when she finished delivering that ball, her teammates roared in support. You must be logged in to post a comment.

Ellyse Perry - Penguin Books New Zealand A year later, in a FIFA Women's World Cup quarter-final against Sweden, she curled a long-range strike on her non-preferred left foot that Socceroo legend Craig Foster described as one of the best Australian goals in World Cup history, by either a man or a woman. At the ripe old age of 20, Perry had become an international dual sport champion. Her profile rose, and she continued scoring runs in cricket, and goals in soccer, balancing the commitments of both sports, making headlines that reflected her rise. Peerless Perry, Ellyse the incredible, The ultimate role model and Australian sport's pitch-perfect poster girl. In , her versatile brilliance saw her named by SportsPro magazine as the 36th most marketable athlete in the world. She was the solitary Australian on the list, and the only other cricketer was Indian captain and megastar Virat Kohli. She became a commodity, with sponsors such as Toyota, Jockey, Red Bull and Microsoft clamouring for her ambassadorship. It led her into situations like the one she's in now: an evening photo shoot in the grandstand of a suburban oval, trying on outfits supplied by a stylist, pouting so a make-up artist can touch up her lipstick. They don't need to do much with her hair; it has its own perpetual windblown lift. The photographer issues his instructions: "Turn that foot", "Look to me", "Pull those sleeves up", "Let's try one with the hood" and "Make it look like you own the place" — and Perry looks like she's done this before. When she decided to focus solely on cricket, her first love, in , even more seminal moments came and went. In the Ashes series, she topped both teams for runs and wickets 16 and was named Player of the Series. In , Wisden named her the leading woman cricketer in the world, after a season in which she scored 17 half-centuries in 23 one-day international innings — the best such streak for any cricketer, man or woman, ever. In , she scored a defining not out against England in an Ashes Test in front of her home crowd at North Sydney Oval. Perry became a grand stage performer, with nary a misstep or hiccup along the way. Collapse, really. Or you can embrace it. I think she just prepares, prepares, prepares, so she can embrace those expectations. What you see is what you get," he says. If a gauntlet was ever thrown down it was two years ago, when the Australian selectors wanted Perry to increase her strike rate, embracing risk for the sake of runs, instead of batting so conservatively. Naturally she rose to it, using the WBBL as her playground, casually topping the batting table last season, shedding her own self-made shackles and slashing her way to runs. But it never shows. You never see it. Ellyse Perry in action for the Matildas; batting and bowling for Australia. Credit: All AAP. Today, Melbourne adds another doozy to its catalogue of grim mornings , and we take a walk. The wind is gusty, cold and annoying, and a train rumbles past while a tram dings. Perry moves at a brisk clip, leaping over a slippery railway footbridge and onto the hip end of Chapel Street, a shopping stretch in the inner eastern suburbs made trendy by vintage boutiques and hawker halls. It's vastly different, she says, to her suburban upbringing, and that was a conscious choice. She moved into an apartment in this busy urban precinct to be in the thick of things for once. She tells me this as we walk past a young woman wailing in the gutter while a handful of police open the door of their divvy van. We stroll for a kilometre or so and settle into the back booth of the cafe where she buys her coffee beans. She orders a long black and a bowl of bircher muesli, and the thing I realise — which has been clear the whole time we've been walking and talking — is how few people, none in fact, notice her. Despite her stature in sport, she goes utterly unrecognised, without a single fawning hello or selfie request. Make no mistake, this is odd. Were the beloved tennis champion Ash Barty to walk in here, or the risen soccer star Sam Kerr, or the bombastic basketballer Liz Cambage, heads would turn.
