Women's Ashes 2023: It's A Bit Of A Bummer, But Gosh, The Game Goes On, And Life Goes On - Ellyse Perry Opens Up On Falling Short Of A Well-deserved Ton

Australia’s Women’s Cricket Team asserted their dominance. The Aussies managed to score 328 for the loss of 7 wickets. Ellyse Perry would be disappointed after missing out on a well-deserved ton by a solitary run. Ellyse Perry scored 99 runs in 153 balls and struck 15 fours.

Tahlia McGrath played a significant knock of 61 runs in 83 balls and struck 8 fours. The rare failure of skipper Alyssa Healy did somewhat hurt the team. The side didn’t panic even after losing wickets in quick succession.

England would be aiming to wrap up the innings quickly else first innings score in excess of 400 won’t keep the team in good stead. The left-arm spinner Sophie Ecclestone was the pick of the bowlers as she took 3 scalps and conceded 71 runs in his 31 overs.

It was just a great tussle – Ellyse Perry

Ellyse Perry was having an interaction with the media after the end of Day 1 and stated that the game is in even balance. Ellyse Perry pointed out that the pacer Lauren Filler did a pretty good job and was impressed with her performance.
