In a fun rapid-fire interview, Australian cricket star Alyssa Healy faced some interesting questions and the cricket icon came up with quite a few eye-catching answers. Healy, who is known or her aggressive batting style and exceptional wicketkeeping skills, was first asked about her favourite cricket ground. The stylish opener was quick to answer as she went with North Sydney Oval and too under the lights. Healy was then quizzed about her cricket idol while growing up. The wicketkeeper-batter named Australian cricket legend Ricky Ponting as her pick. Notably, Ponting led Aussie men’s team to two ODI World Cup triumphs in 2003 and 2007. He amassed 13,378 runs from 168 Tests and 13,704 runs from 375 ODIs. Healy will soon be seen in action, as Australia and England are set to face each other in the Women’s Ashes. The schedule for the Women’s Ashes, featuring multiple formats, was recently unveiled by England. This edition will witness the inaugural five-day Test match, set to take place at Trent Bridge. The visiting team may face the prospect of introducing a completely revamped opening partnership, as Healy contemplates shifting down the batting order to manage her workload. Healy, who has been Australia’s opener in the past three Tests since 2019, a role she often assumes in limited-overs cricket, is cautious about the physical toll that wicketkeeping can have during Test matches. As a result, she is considering adjusting her position in the batting lineup. “I have given i...

Christchurch: Australian wicketkeeper-batter Alyssa Healy was named 'Player of the Tournament' by the ICC following her team's 71-run over England in the Women's World Cup final here on Sunday. Healy, who smashed 170 in the final against England, added her name to the prestigious roll-call of previous winners, joining former Australia captain Karen Rolton (2005) and international stars (England's Claire Taylor in 2009, New Zealand's Suzie Bates in 2013 and England's Tammy Beaumont in 2017) as contemporaries who have also won the coveted award. Healy (509) scored more runs than any other player in New Zealand, with her centuries in the semifinal and final of the tournament helping Australia take home a record-extending seventh World Cup title. The 32-year-old averaged 56.55 with the bat and also contributed eight dismissals (four catches and four stumpings) as keeper. The six-person panel that judged Healy included commentators Lisa Sthalekar, Nasser Hussain and Natalie Germanos. 6dt2jb8q64lt3vlsnqbbd4q20p onmanorama-topic-general-topics-11-cricket https-www-onmanorama-com-sports-cricket https-www-onmanorama-com-sports https-www-onmanorama-com-acp onmanorama-topic-events-4-womens-world-cup onmanorama-topic-person-5-alyssa-healy onmanorama-topic-person-28-mitchell-starc onmanorama-topic-destination-1-australia

Australian opener Alyssa Healy was on Wednesday named as captain of UP Warriorz for the inaugural edition of the Women’s Premier League (WPL). Healy, one of the most recognised faces in the sport, is a highly experienced and seasoned campaigner, having played 139 games for Australia in T20Is, scoring close to 2,500 runs, with one century and 14 fifties as well. She is also considered to be one of the best wicket-keeper batters in the sport, with 110 dismissals in T20Is. One of the senior-most members of the dominant Australian side, Healy has been a key cog in the wheel, and is known to reserve her best performances for the biggest stages, such as the 2020 Women’s T20 World Cup Final in Melbourne, where a record-breaking 86,000 people watched Australia win their fifth title.
