James Sutherland Quotations

We've announced the tour program six months ahead of what we normally would and that's just (because of) the sheer demand and public interest that's out there right now.

The weak-minded minority who are tempted to think 'me too' when they see or hear media reports of racist taunts might think again if they realized they faced bans or huge fines.

Belinda Clark is arguably the best female cricketer to play for Australia,

I'm comfortable with the approach they are taking. There's no doubt there's a lot of heat in this series, it's been there right from the outset and it's been great. I don't think we should be too disappointed with players going hard at each other.

The Australian Test captain is Tasmanian, Tom Kendall, who played in the very first Test in 1877, is buried in Tasmania, and Keith Bradshaw, the new MCC secretary and chief executive-elect, is Tasmanian. We have made the MCC aware we are very disappointed Tasmania is not on the list. I hope it is not too late to reconsider the issue for next summer.

We encourage Australian cricket fans to send their message of support to our team as they prepare for this important contest, ... It has been an incredible series and the English team has enjoyed massive home-town support. We hope to leave Ricky Ponting and his team in no doubt as to the huge level of support they have from Australians back home.

When we renovate an old building we fix all of the issues including electrical, plumbing and ADA issues.

I think what Ian said has a lot of merit,

It was important that we sent as strong a team as possible. We did not want to send the wrong message to New Zealand fans and New Zealand Cricket.

I have to add, though, that it is disappointing when our players are found guilty of improper conduct on the field.
