Sarah Coyte
Sarah Jane Coyte (born 30 March 1991) is an Australian cricketer from Camden, New South Wales. A right-arm medium fast bowler, Coyte has taken a total of 100 wickets for the national women's team across Tests, ODIs and T20Is. She currently plays for the Melbourne Renegades in the Women's Big Bash League (WBBL).
In addition to her bowling prowess, Coyte has proven to be a handy lower-order batter and notable performer in tournament finals. She has won two world championships with Australia, seven WNCL championships with New South Wales and South Australia, and one WBBL championship with the Sydney Sixers. Her successful cricket career was established and maintained despite an ongoing battle with anorexia nervosa and other mental health issues which prompted a premature, albeit temporary, retirement from the game in 2017.
On 7 November 2009, Coyte made her WNCL debut playing for New South Wales in a 15-run win against Queensland, managing impressive bowling figures of 4/25 from six overs and helping to defend a total of 198. She finished the 2009–10 season with twelve wickets at an average of 15.16, having played all eleven matches including the 59-run win against Victoria in the final.
Coyte went on to be involved in five more successful campaigns with New South Wales in as many seasons. Her highlights included:
During August 2015, Coyte announced she would leave New South Wales to play for South Australia. In the 2015–16 final, she took 1/24 from ten overs as South Australia claimed their first national title with a 54-run win. The victory brought an end to New South Wales' streak of ten-consecutive championships which Coyte helped to build.
Across the 2016–17 season, Coyte took nine wickets at an average of 24.88, although South Australia finished in fourth place and failed to qualify for the final. In March 2017, she announced her retirement from domestic cricket at the age of 25, citing a need to seek better balance in her life to combat mental health issues.
Coyte returned to the WNCL for the 2019–20 season, signing with the ACT Meteors in May 2019. She earned her first Player of the Match award with the team on 6 February 2020 against Tasmania, taking 2/30 from eight overs and then scoring 48 not out to help chase down a target of 199 with three wickets and 21 balls to spare. The Meteors finished the tournament in fifth place.
Opting to focus solely on Twenty20 cricket, Coyte did not sign with a WNCL team ahead of the 2020–21 season. However, she joined Tasmania midway through their campaign, debuting on 25 February 2021 against New South Wales at Blundstone Arena in a tied match. On 7 March, Coyte recorded her second WNCL half-century and highest score in the league, coming in to bat at 5/89 and managing 66 runs off 88 balls, though her team would nevertheless lose the match to Queensland by eight wickets.
