Getting to the top of your sport is difficult, very few will ever represent their country on the world stage. Ellyse Perry has done that in not 1, but 2 sports in her illustrious career. Ellyse was 16 when first selected to represent Australia in Cricket, the youngest ever to play Cricket for Australia male or female, 13 days later she pulled on a Matilda's jersey and made her Aussie Soccer Debut. She is the only person ever to have played for Australia in both cricket and Soccer World Cups. In December 2020, the ICC staged a special edition of its annual awards ceremony to recognise the best players of the past ten years. Perry swept all three major female categories to be named the Women's ODI Player of the Decade, Women's T20I Player of the Decade and overall Women's Cricketer of the Decade. Proper GOAT behaviours.
