Will Sutherland. Vics' Shield Captain.

Post by Donny »

Victoria allrounder Will Sutherland has a couple of new job titles to add to his growing résumé

Will Sutherland's status as one of the leaders to watch in Australian cricket has been further enhanced after being named captain of two different sides on Friday.

In the morning it was announced that the allrounder had been handed the full-time captaincy of Victoria's Marsh Sheffield Shield side this summer, a role he held temporarily last season when regular skipper Peter Handscomb toured India with the Australian squad.

That was followed by an afternoon press release confirming that Sutherland would lead Australia A in the three-match one-day series against New Zealand A in Queensland this week.

Is Sutherland the Toby Green of Oz cricket?

Inspiring on-field, bad boy off-field.

And controversial father.

(Dunno if Toby has a footy-playing sister.)

Actually, Toby's inspiring and bad-boy stuff are/were both on-field. But the point is the two opposite sides/views of him. (e.g. Look at discussion in the AA thread.)

Sutherland's bad-boy past includes trashing a hotel room with his Oz U19 mates.

His fill-in captaincy last season was promising, right?
