4. Ellyse Perry (Cricket and Football)

Australian Southern Stars Homecoming

Where the men have done it, the women can’t be far behind!

Perry has been capped 108 times by Australia – four Test matches, 57 ODIs and 47 Twenty20s. In that time she has scored 798 runs and taken 136 wickets.

She also happens to be a star defender for Sydney Football Club and has turned out 118 times for her country too scoring four goals in that time.Not bad eh!

Perry is the youngest person, male or female, to represent Australia in cricket and the first Australian woman to have appeared in both cricket and football World Cups. She was part of the cricket teams which won the 2010 World Twenty20 and the 2013 World Cup.

She is still only 22.
