James Alexander Sutherland (born 14 July 1965) is an Australian former first-class cricketer and cricket administrator,infamous for the cheating in the ball-tampering scandal. He played for Victoria in the Sheffield Shield and was the chief executive officer of Cricket Australia,from 2001 to 2018. He was born at East Melbourne in 1965.
A right arm fast-medium bowler,Sutherland made his first-class debut against Queensland at the St Kilda Cricket Ground,where one of his opponents,Scott Muller,was also debuting. He claimed Carl Rackemann as his maiden wicket and in the second innings dismissed Stuart Law for the first of his two-second innings victims. [1] The following week the Victorians defeated New South Wales in the Sheffield Shield Final but the paceman had lost his place in the side to Paul Jackson and instead was relegated to 12th man. [2]
In his three other first-class appearances he chipped in with the occasional wicket but was unable to take a big haul. He did however take some big wickets,including Justin Langer twice and against Tasmania he dismissed Ricky Ponting hit wicket. [3] As Cricket Australia chief executive,Sutherland would later work alongside the Australian captain,as he did with Steve Waugh whom he also took the wicket of during his career,on his List A debut. [4] He was part of Victoria's 1992/93 Mercantile Mutual Cup campaign and played in the Final which they lost to New South Wales. [5]
Sutherland is a chartered accountant who formerly worked for Ernst &Young. [6] [7] Following the conclusion of Sutherland's cricket career,he became a finance manager at the Carlton Football Club and was appointed as an assistant coach of Victoria in 1998/99,having become a Level III coach. Sutherland also had a stint as coach of the Melbourne University Cricket Club,where he is a life member,having played District cricket there for many years.
Sutherland joined the Australian Cricket Board,now known as Cricket Australia,as general manager in 1998. Three years later (in 2001) he replaced Malcolm Speed to become the chief executive. [8]
On 6 June 2018,Sutherland announced his retirement,giving Cricket Australia 12 months notice to find a suitable replacement. [9]
In 2019,Sutherland became chairman of PlayHQ,a community sport competition platform. [10]
In August 2020,Sutherland was appointed CEO of Golf Australia. [11]
The Queensland men's cricket team or the Queensland Bulls is the Brisbane-based Queensland representative cricket side in Australia's domestic cricket tournaments:
Nathan Wade Bracken is a former Australian cricketer. A tall left-arm fast-medium bowler,Bracken is capable of swinging the ball both ways. He has represented Australia in all forms of the game. Bracken represented New South Wales in Australian domestic cricket,Eastern Suburbs in Sydney Grade Cricket and also appeared for English County team Gloucestershire in 2004. On 28 January 2011 he announced his retirement from the game due to a chronic knee injury. On 9 February 2012 it was reported that he sued Cricket Australia over the latter's alleged incompetency in managing his knee injury. With his time representing Australia,Bracken won multiple ICC titles with the team:the 2003 Cricket World Cup,the 2007 Cricket World Cup,and the 2006 ICC Champions Trophy.
The Sheffield Shield is the domestic first-class cricket competition of Australia. The tournament is contested between teams representing the six states of Australia. The Sheffield Shield is named after Lord Sheffield.
Nathan Michael Hauritz is a former Australian cricketer who has represented Australia in Tests,One-dayers and Twenty20 Internationals. He is mainly noted for his off spin bowling. He was a part of the Australian squad which won the 2003 Cricket World Cup.
Ryan John Campbell is an Australian former cricketer who represented both Australia and Hong Kong internationally. He is the current head coach of Durham,on a contract covering the 2023 to 2025 seasons.
Michael James Di Venuto is an Australian cricket coach and former first-class cricketer who represented both Australia and Italy. The bulk of his first-class cricket career was spent playing for Tasmanian Tigers. After retiring from representative cricket in Australia,he continued playing for Durham County Cricket Club till July 2012,when he announced retirement from County Cricket. He has also previously played cricket in England for Derbyshire and Sussex. A left hand opening batsman,his form for Tasmania throughout the mid-1990s earned him a call up for the Australian national cricket team in the One Day International arena,although after nine games he was dropped. Like some of his contemporary Tasmanian teammates such as Jamie Cox,Dene Hills,and Shaun Young,Di Venuto can be considered unlucky to have not had a more successful international career,as he was playing at a time when the Australian national cricket team was highly dominant,and difficult to earn selection for. After retiring from Durham,he was appointed Australia's full-time batting coach by head coach Mickey Arthur,and was then head coach of Surrey from 2016 until 2020.
