Sara McGlashan's key strength is her versatility. She is a true all-rounder, excelling with the bat, the ball and as a wicket keeper. In 2001/2002 she represented Central Districts in the National Under-21 tournament, batting at the top of the order. She was also a member of the State Central Hinds, playing in seven State League matches with a highest score of 40. She was selected for the seniors' winter tour to Europe and made her debut against the Netherlands in 2002, and strengthened her cricket that summer at the New Zealand Cricket Academy. Her cricket has gone from strength to strength and in 2006, she was unlucky not to have scored more runs against a whimpering Indian team, but as usual her performances with the gloves were solid and consistent. In the 2006-07 State League she scored 324 runs, including a century and two fifties.
