Biography

Not only is Ellyse the youngest ever cricketer, male or female, to have represented Australia, she is one of very few Australians to have represented her country in two different sports, and the only person ever to have played for Australia in both cricket and football (soccer) World Cups.
 

No wonder Cricket Australia, not short of high achievers to draw upon, calls Ellyse 'arguably the best athlete in Australia'.
