Australia's Annabel Sutherland's history-making century in the Women's Ashes Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground has been permanently acknowledged with her name added to the ground's Australia Test Century honour board. This makes Sutherland the first woman to achieve a Test ton at the MCG, surpassing the previous record set by England keeper Betty Snowball in 1935. The recognition was widely praised, with many fans applauding the inclusion of Sutherland's name without any asterisks or special distinction.
Australia’s Annabel Sutherland history-making century on Friday has been permanently acknowledged by the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Sutherland — the daughter of former Cricket Australia CEO James Sutherland — is the first woman to make a Test ton at the MCG , surpassing England keeper Betty Snowball’s 83* in 1935 for highest score at the venue.
“Come on Mark … surely you’ve got more respect than that,” one fan said. And another: “Hahaha you got cooked by a cricket ground, I’d be embarrassed if I was you.” And another: “Failed politician has to engage in culture wars to stay relevant. Why can’t you just congratulate Annabelle on this achievement?” The milestone fulfilled a lifelong dream for Sutherland, who grew up at the MCG watching the cricket and the footy as a diehard Geelong fan.
