Both sutherland

Belinda Clark Award: Former Australia women’s cricketer Lisa Sthalekar believes Annabel Sutherland is fast catching up with the legendary Ellyse Perry to be the next best all-rounder in the current team, noting that the duo are cut from the same cloth in terms of preparing for matches.

Recently, Annabel claimed her first Belinda Clark Award awarded to the best Australia women’s cricketer across all formats for 2024, amassing 798 runs at an average of 46.94 and picking 34 wickets while averaging 20.82.

Named in the ICC Women’s ODI Team of the Year, Annabel was also outstanding in the two Test matches Australia played - making 210 against South Africa in Perth in the previous season, and recently becoming the first woman to hit a Test century at the MCG in a Player of the Match performance against England.
