Pink-ball Test: It was just really nice to be out there, says Perry on becoming Australia’s highest Test run-scorer
PERTH: Veteran seam-bowling all-rounder Ellyse Perry said she was relishing her time in the middle after becoming Australia’s leading run-scorer in women’s Tests during day two of the one-off pink-ball match against India at the WACA Ground on Saturday.
Ellyse, 35, overtook Karen Rolton’s tally of 1,002 Test runs by crossing the 1,000-run milestone with a single before driving a boundary to claim the record. She was eventually dismissed lbw by Deepti Sharma for 76, leaving her with 1,006 runs in the longer format.
“It feels like I’ve been around for a long time now! But, it was a really enjoyable session out there batting with Annabel Sutherland. She’s just so classy. Being at the other end watching her do her thing was absolutely awesome.
“In the bigger scheme of the match, it was a really good session for us to put ourselves in a strong position. Hopefully the rest of the day goes really well for us. It was just really nice to be out there,” said Ellyse in a chat with broadcasters at tea break.
