About Ian Healy
- Ian Andrew Healy (born 30 April 1964) is an Australian former international cricketer who played for Queensland domestically.
- A specialist wicketkeeper and useful right-hand middle-order batsman, he made an unheralded entry to international cricket in 1988, after only six first-class games.
- His work ethic and combativeness was much needed by an Australian team.
- Over the next decade, Healy was a key member of the side as it enjoyed a sustained period of success.
- By the time of his retirement, Healy held the world record for most Test dismissals by a wicket-keeper. Healy was a very useful batsman and improved dramatically during the second half of his career.
- All of his four first-class centuries were scored in Test matches.
- He could be handy as a hitter late in the innings during ODIs: he averaged 21 while scoring at a rate of 83.8 runs per hundred balls.
- Although touted as a potential leader of the team early in his career, a series of on-field misdemeanours counted against him when the position was vacant.
- He captained Australia in eight ODIs when the regular skipper Mark Taylor was injured.
