Perry, who cast a partnership with Tahlia McGrath, heaped reward on the latter. “She’s a pretty great Test match player. She obviously batted really well in the first innings as well. Tahlia’s approach I think is always attacking. She plays a lot of great shots. She’s a strokemaker. But today she just looked really tight,” she stated. 

“In amongst some of those really great drives, like, she’s fantastically solid on defense. I thought she bowled really well. She tied down an end for us as well in our bowling innings. So she’s all around us. A fabulous player and great to have in our team. 

“This has been a really great effort. That’s much better in terms of their contribution to the innings. I think she’s been solid through. It’s been great,” stated Perry.
