The Australian women's cricket team spend many months of the year travelling around the globe playing cricket for their country, as well as in various franchise leagues across the world.

This particular tour of Bangladesh is presenting the well-travelled Australians with some unique challenges and opportunities, all of which Beth Mooney and Alana King take the time to explain in great detail.

Over a spirited game of Monopoly Deal, Beth and Alana cover a lot of territory: the sheer terror of facing Tayla Vlaeminck in the nets, what makes this Australian team unique, Beth's big 30th plus the exciting schedule of international cricket on the horizon.

Before that, hosts Laura Jolly and Emily Collin wrap up a convincing 3-0 ODI series win to the visitors and look ahead to whether Australia might tinker even more with their XI heading into the three T20s.

Then, it's the fast bowling duo of Darcie Brown and Kim Garth on the show to chat about everything from life as an Aussie fast bowler, who the coaches' pets are and look ahead to a major milestone for Megan Schutt.

In 2007, Australian selector at the time Marg Jennings plucked a 16-year-old Ellyse Perry from school to play for Australia, despite never having played a match at senior domestic level.

On Sunday night in Mumbai, Ellyse will play her 300th game for Australia.

A generational athlete, Ellyse has had an enourmous impact on the women's game in Australia and globally. Further to that, her outstanding on-field performances coupled with her genuine, humble and down-to-earth nature have made her an Australian sporting icon.

In this special episode of the Scoop Podcast, hosts Laura and Emily trace back to the start of Ellyse's career, before reflecting on some favourite 'Pez' memories from fans as well as her teammates.

Fans in Australia can tune into the second T20I to watch Ellyse's milestone match on Foxtel or Kayo.
