“I have worked a lot on my hand speed to try and keep hitting the ball harder … with the women’s game, there is just not as much pace on the ball. So, if you want to hit the ball hard, you have to be able to generate that speed, and power from your own technique,” Sutherland said. “We are seeing it a lot more, especially in the men’s Big Bash, just the ability to manipulate the ball, access behind the wicket with hand speed and different stuff like that, opening up the ground, in general, is something everyone in cricket is trying to do at the moment.”
Teammate Alana King has watched Sutherland mature since their days together at Prahran Cricket Club. King said Sutherland’s attention to detail was second to none. Sutherland’s fortitude and sharp mind has her destined for leadership honours, although she insists that is not on the agenda.
