Sutherland's standing in the game
The usual test for an all-rounder is whether she would hold her place on either skill alone. Sutherland passes it in more than one format. Her Test batting average would justify selection as a specialist batter. Her ODI bowling average of 21.42 would justify selection as a specialist seamer. Very few players in any era have numbers on both sides that support both cases.
The T20 record confirms the point at scale. A double of 2,000 runs and 200 wickets in T20 cricket is rare in the men's game and rarer still in the women's, where fewer matches are played each year. Sutherland reached it in 209 matches.
Format by format
Test: the headline numbers
Women's Test cricket is played sparingly, so every Test innings carries extra weight. In her 7 Tests Sutherland has scored 715 runs from 10 innings, dismissed only eight times. Her four hundreds mean that two in every five of her Test innings have ended in three figures. Her top score of 210 is a double-century, the rarest score in the women's game.
She scored at a strike rate of 64.1, quick for Test cricket, and hit 90 fours in 1,116 balls. Her method is to take control of the scoring rather than wait for bad balls.
With the ball she has taken 19 Test wickets at 23.26, conceding just 3.19 an over and taking a wicket every 43.7 balls. Those are the figures of a front-line seamer, not a part-timer.
ODI: the complete package
Sutherland's 50-over numbers may be the best illustration of her all-round value. In 52 ODIs she has:
- scored 1,161 runs at 44.65 with a strike rate of 95.6,
- made three hundreds and five fifties, with a highest score of 110,
- taken 69 wickets at 21.42 with an economy of 4.65,
- struck every 27.7 balls with the ball.
A strike rate near 96 with an average near 45 is excellent batting in women's ODIs. A wicket every 28 balls is excellent bowling. Having both in one player gives Australia freedom in team selection that other sides rarely have. More one-day records are on the ODI hub.
T20: volume across leagues
In 209 T20 matches Sutherland has scored 2,749 runs at a strike rate of 118.1, with seven fifties and a highest score of 72. She has hit 251 fours and 63 sixes, worth 1,382 runs, about half her T20 total. Her batting average of 20.83 reflects the role: in strong franchise and international line-ups she often bats in the middle or lower order, where the job is quick runs rather than a long innings.
With the ball she has 203 wickets at 22.44 and an economy of 7.21, a wicket every 18.7 balls. That return across 203 bowling innings makes her a regular wicket-taker in every league she has played in.
What the numbers show
- A Test batter of rare quality. An average of 89.38 with four hundreds, including a double-century, from seven Tests.
- A two-skill ODI cricketer. A batting average of 44.65 alongside a bowling average of 21.42.
- A T20 double. 2,749 runs and 203 wickets puts her among the most productive all-rounders in women's T20 cricket.
- Longer formats bring out her batting. Her averages climb as the format lengthens, from 20.83 in T20s to 44.65 in ODIs and 89.38 in Tests. Given more time at the crease, she converts.

The value of an all-rounder in women's cricket
Women's squads tend to be smaller and women's teams play fewer matches than men's, so a player who covers two roles is especially valuable. An all-rounder of Sutherland's level lets selectors pick an extra specialist batter or bowler without weakening either department. Her franchise list, with three different competitions in three countries, shows that teams across the women's game value the same thing.
