As the stage sets for the one-off Women's Ashes pink-ball Test against England on Thursday, Australian bowling all-rounder Sophie Molineux has commended veteran teammate Ellyse Perry for her relentless ambition. Despite her lengthy 17-year tenure in international cricket, the 34-year-old remains driven for more achievements.

With Australia having secured victories in all six white-ball fixtures of the Women's Ashes so far, encompassing three ODIs and T20Is each, they stride into the Melbourne Cricket Ground Test with a momentum yet unmatched. The spotlight falls on Perry, who, despite a lean run, is determined to chase a significant milestone.

Perry, currently at 928 Test runs with an impressive average, aims to surpass Karen Rolton as Australia's top run-scorer in women's Tests if she makes 75 or more runs. She remains a meticulous trainee, setting her sights on breaking records. "Ellyse has been incredible over the years and continues to chase new records," remarked Molineux on cricket.com.au.
