There is an apparent mismatch between the interest in women’s and men’s cricket. The fact that people have to use the word ‘women’ while speaking of the cricket played by them but don’t have to use the term ‘men’ is quite the testament required to proof the claim.

However, there are some cricketer in the women fraternity who could actually better their men counterpart. One such player is Elyse Perry. The Australian all-rounder is an epitome of an all-round sportswoman.

Not only can she bat and bowl brilliantly, she also plays football professionally—and she is good at even that.

However, we shall only focus on her achievements as a cricketer and her latest one is that of winning the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Award for the Cricketer of the Year, named after the legendary English cricketer, Rachael Heyhoe, for her wonderful service to the game of cricket.

The Australian made history last month when whe scored an unbeaten 213 to become the holder of the highest individual score by an Australian women in Tests, overcoming the 209* scored by Karel Rolton against England 16 years ago.

Her compatriot, Beth Mooney, was also awarded with the T20 Player of the Year as well as the Emerging Player of the Year.
