Sammy-Jo Johnson (born 5 November 1992) is an Australian cricketer who plays as a right-arm medium-fast bowler and right-handed batter for New South Wales Breakers in the Women's National Cricket League and Sydney Thunder in the Women's Big Bash League.
As a young cricketer, she was inspired by Brett Lee, and sometimes, after taking a wicket, she would emulate him by jumping in the air or doing "the chainsaw".
[4] In 2010, Johnson became the second female player to receive the Adam Gilchrist scholarship, through which she travelled to the UK to play for five months for the Cumbria Women cricket team in the north of England.
[4] Soon after arriving in England, playing for Cumbria in a match against a leading junior boys representative side, Johnson took 3-22 from eight overs, and then recorded her first ever century, by scoring 110 in her team’s total of 173.
Just three weeks after joining the Western Suburbs grade team, and at the age of 19 years, Johnson was selected to debut for the Fire in a Twenty20 match against the ACT Meteors.
