Profile

Arguably the best female athlete in Australia, Perry’s profile continues to rise with the dual cricket and soccer international having played World Cups for both sports. 

She is the strike bowler for the Commonwealth Bank Southern Stars and a more than handy batter in the middle or lower order, capable of clearing boundaries. 

Perry is one of four CA cricket Ambassadors and a face of the 2011-12 Commonwealth Bank Southern Stars Media Kit, as well as an ambassador for the bank and new KFC T20 Big Bash League team the Sydney Sixers. 

Her relaxed and bubbly persona makes Perry popular with the media and she can be heard regularly on Triple J’s Tuesday morning show with Tom and Alex during the segment ‘Perry Good at Sports’ http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/tomandalex/blog/s3321441.htm
