James Alexander Sutherland (born 14 July 1965) is an Australian former first-class cricketer and cricket administrator. 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]

A right-arm medium pace bowler,Illingworth was best remembered for being no-balled for throwing in a Sheffield Shield match against South Australia in November 1964 by umpires Col Egar and Jack Ryan.

They opted for Bellerive Oval in Hobart. The final was drawn,meaning Victoria won their 29th title by finishing on top of the table. Adam Voges was the leading run-scorer and was named man of the series,while Fawad Ahmed took the most wickets of the season.
