Suthakar is a celebrated and quality cricketer who has played 386 games of LMS, 238 of which are for his beloved and hyper-successful Ocean 12 team who play in the LMS Western Sydney region. Renowned as one of Sydney’s most popular teams, Ocean 12, whose team name was inspired by the arduous journeys across water that individuals from the team took from Sri Lanka to Australia in their bid for refuge and asylum in Australia in 2012, have become an integral part of the community. A shared love of cricket, having been introduced to Last Man Stands, helped the team during the early years of landing in Australia and as their confidence grew, so did their skill and ability level, helping them to go on to win major titles. In 2016 and 2019 they were crowned national champions at the Australian National Champs in Gold Coast. An incredible achievement. Suthakar, bats, he bowls, he keeps, and he does them all with poise and measure beyond the grip of most LMS players around.

BATTING – WHACK!
The average is top shelf, but that scoring rate is next level!
* Games – 386
* Innings – 339 (bats in 88% of games)
* Runs – 10,538
* Not outs – 149 (1 every 2.3 inn)
* Average – 55.5
* Balls faced – 4,591 (or 918.1 LMS overs)
* SR – 230 (or 11.5 runs per LMS over)
* 100s – 4 (best 106* off 40)
* 50s – 89
Comment: That combination of batting at 55.5 whilst scoring at 11.5 an over is just devastating.

Comment: Suthakar scores at 11.5 an over and concedes just 5.6 an over, if that is not a positive
impact on a game then I don’t know what is!
