Veteran Perry getting better with age

Ellyse Perry reckons it's just a sign of her age but by the time she's finished in cricket the women's record books will be almost entirely hers.

Perry notched another feat on the way to her fourth World Twenty20 title on Sunday (AEDT) against England, becoming just the second player - male or female - to pick up 100 international wickets after the West Indies' Anisa Mohammed.

It comes just a week after Perry became the first Australian to pass 100 international T20s, while she became just the second Australian woman to play 200 internationals across all formats earlier this summer.

She is also ranked fifth on the all-time running score lists for Australian women in T20s and seventh in ODIs.

Perry finished the World T20 with nine wickets at 9.88, having claimed 2-2 against the West Indies in the semi-final before she picked up her 100th scalp with an inswinging lbw to get rid of in-form Natalie Sciver.

"I just wanted to win tonight with the team. It's nice to pick up a wicket along the way," Perry told AAP.

"In the scheme of things it just shows how long I've been around and how much older I'm getting really.

"There are a lot of major games in that time. The fact we've played five World Cup finals and won four of them is a huge career highlight, it's been really nice to be around that long."

For a long time one of the sport's biggest names, she has worked closely with Sydney Sixers coach and new Australian assistant Ben Sawyer to add to her arsenal with the ball.

It was with a newly-acquired change-up she produced one of the balls of the tournament in the semi-final, an offcutter that skittled the stumps of Deandra Dottin - the gun opener who took Australia down in the 2016 World T20 final.

"She's not known for her slower ball but I know it's something she has been working on," Alex Blackwell, Australia's most-capped T20 player, said.

"She's been bowling these cutters on pitches in the West Indies that are gripping a little bit. They're almost coming out as little offspinners and they've been really effective."
