Annabel Sutherland has been described as the cricketer “everyone dreams to be” following her stunning display in Australia’s day-night Test against India in Perth.<\/p>\n

Sutherland snared career-best figures of 4-46 with the ball, as India was dismissed for 198 on the opening day of the one-off Test at the WACA ground<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In reply, Australia was struggling at 3-58 before Sutherland (20 not out) and Ellyse Perry (43 not out) combined to lift the home side to 3-96 by stumps.<\/p>\n

Australia’s Lucy Hamilton said she was in awe of Sutherland’s ability.<\/p>\n

“She’s definitely the high-performing athlete that everyone dreams to be,” she said.<\/p>\n

“Being on the field and watching her do her thing was really cool.”<\/p>\n

Jemimah Rodrigues, who made 52 for India, was also full of praise for Sutherland.<\/p>\n

Australia captain Alyssa Healy falls for 13 in the first innings of her final Test, as 13 wickets fall on day one of the day-night Test against India at the WACA.<\/p>\n

Rodriques and Sutherland are teammates at Delhi Capitals in the Women’s Premier League.<\/p>\n

“She’s one of the best all-rounders going around,” Rodrigues said.<\/p>\n

“And watching her so closely [at] DC (Delhi Capitals), I think she’s very professional with her work.<\/p>\n

“She’s well-prepared always and just knows her plans \u2026 she has a very calm head on her shoulders.”<\/p>\n

Along with Sutherland, Hamilton performed well with the ball on Friday, snaring 3-31 in her Test debut.<\/p>\n

She said claiming the first wicket of the match \u2014 a beautiful delivery that bowled star India batter Smriti Mandhana (4) \u2014 gave her confidence.<\/p>\n

“It was really special,” Hamilton said.<\/p>\n

“Getting the first wicket of the game was a tick in my box.<\/p>\n

“And to do my job and come on for a second spell, and impact the game was really nice, and what a fast bowler always wants to do.”<\/p>\n
