 Cindy McLEISH (Eildon) (09:47): For years my family and I have had our eye on Annabel Sutherland, and for good reason. Her development and ability as an all-rounder in the Australian women’s cricket team has been a delight to watch. Her use of the bat and the ball are equally impressive, and I was thrilled to see her hit a hundred runs in the test match against England at the MCG and then to be the first woman to have her name on the century board there. To top off a great year, Annabel took out the Belinda Clark medal on Monday night, noting Belinda herself was a great trailblazer for women’s cricket.
