Ian Andrew Healy (nicknamed "Heals") (born April 30, 1964) is a former Australian international cricketer playing for Queensland domestically. A specialist wicketkeeper specialist and a useful right-time batsman, he made an unknown entry to international cricket in 1988, after only six first-class games. His work ethic and cohesiveness are badly needed by poorly performing Australian teams. Over the next decade, Healy is a key member in addition to enjoying a period of sustained success. At retirement, Healy holds the world record for most Test stops by the goalkeeper.
Healy is a very useful batsman and improved dramatically during the second half of his career. All of his four grade classes were scored in Test matches. He can be useful as a late hitter in the rounds during ODIS: he averages 21 while scoring at the 83.8 level runs per hundred balls. Despite being mentioned as a potential leader of the team early in his career, a series of field offenses counted against him when the position was empty. He captained Australia in eight ODIs when regular captain Mark Taylor was injured.

Hari-hari awal
Born in the Brisbane area of ​​Spring Hill, Healy was educated at Brisbane State Senior High School. Healy and his family moved 600 kilometers (370 miles) north to the small town of Biloela in 1972, due to his father's transfer in his job as a bank manager. Rod Marsh inspired Healy to pick up a goal; he also plays in the league of basketball, soccer, squash and rugby. He represented the Queensland team under 11 years and later attended a clinic hosted by Queensland cricket players on tour. Team goalkeeper John Maclean gave him some special training, which provided his junior career boost further.
During his final years in town, Healy played with an adult, which accelerated his progress. Returning to Brisbane with his family at the age of 17 he played for Brisbane State XI Secondary School and 1st Xv, he later joined the Northern Suburbs club in the Brisbane class competition in 1982. After three matches for Queensland Colts as a specialist batsman, Healy made his debut first in the 1986-87 class in place of injured Peter Anderson. However, Anderson remains the first choice as the state's wicketkeeper for the next eighteen months, during which time Healy only manages six first-class appearances.

International career
Given the small number of games for Queensland, Healy's choice for the Australian team to tour Pakistan in late 1988 was a big surprise. The goalkeeper's position has proven to be a problem for Australia since retiring the childhood hero Healy's hero, Rod Marsh. Wayne B. Phillips, Tim Zoehrer, Greg Dyer and Steve Rixon have all been tried with little success. Australian Elector Greg Chappell has witnessed Healy's progress in Queensland, and believes that he offers low-order batting stability and a determined approach to the game that the Australian team lacks.
With his own admission, Healy is overwhelmed by his sudden elevation and takes time to stay on the team. The voters persisted with him through a difficult Pakistan tour and his next home series against the West Indies, though Australia lost both series.
The increase in team performance coincided with the formation of Healy as a Test class player. On the British tour in 1989, he was safely behind the stump in taking 14 Test catches, but averaged only 17.16 with a bat, as Australia won 4-0 to regain the Ashes. In seven Exams against New Zealand, Sri Lanka and Pakistan during the 1989-90 season, Healy received 23 catches and scored a top score of 48.
First century
Although Australia lost the series with West Indies and drew with New Zealand in 1992-1993, the team successfully toured the UK in 1993 when Healy hit his first test century. His form has gradually improved, peaking at 102 undefeated at Old Trafford when he dominated his partnership with Steve Waugh. With the introduction of Shane Warne's team, Healy was able to demonstrate his skills by standing on a stump and reading various spinner shipments. In his first 39 Tests, Healy downed two batsmen. In 14 Tests between 1992 and 1993, he staked ten batsmen while taking 52 catches.
Healy followed up with another century, against New Zealand in Perth in 1993-94. Healy is also famous for his energy and optimism behind his stump, and is often heard in the microphone effect that drives other teams, perhaps the most prominent praise of Shane Warne, expressed as 'bowling, Warnie'. Noteworthy is his attitude to injury; Despite breaking all his fingers during his thirteen-year career, he only missed one Test match, replaced by Phil Emery in Pakistan.
Healy was twice captain of Australia XI, in a tour match against West Indians in 1991-92 and 1992-93. In 1993, he led the Australian official team in Hong Kong's six-sided tournament and replaced Allan Border as Queensland captain in 1992-1993. However, when Border retired at the end of his 1994 tour in South Africa, Healy was not seen as a worthy substitute as an Australian captain for two reasons. First, only one goalkeeper led Australia in the previous hundred years. Second, confrontations in the field are sometimes done against him.
Removed from ODI team
Australia made a much-debated decision to separate teams to play Tests and ODI for the 1997-98 season. This affected Healy and captain Mark Taylor, both of whom were dropped from the ODI team. Sri Lanka won the 1996 World Cup utilizing an ultra-aggressive opening batsman strategy hit as many runs as possible early in the overs of the inning. Adam Gilchrist, his own goalkeeper, has shown the potential to play this type of game since his debut at ODI the previous year. Gilchrist went on to become an ODI team goalkeeper as well, allowing Australia to play an extra specialist (bowler or batsman) at the hitting place previously occupied by Healy. Both Healy and Taylor make their disappointment with a known decision. However, Gilchrist reached a brilliant century during the Carlton and United Series finals, which Australia won after failing to qualify for the previous season. Healy ended his ODI career with a world record 233 dismissals, a mark since being taken over by Gilchrist, Mark Boucher, Moin Khan, Kumar Sangakkara and M.S.Dhoni.
Healy retained the Test spot, starting the season with a score of 68 in Brisbane and 85 in Perth against New Zealand. The only other substance is 46 not out against South Africa in the second Test in Sydney. On the next Indian tour, Healy scored the highest with 90 at the first Test in Chennai, which Australia lost.
World record
On October 4, 1998, Healy broke Rod Marsh's world record of 355 dismissals when he captured Wasim Akram from bowling Colin Miller, during the first Test against Pakistan in Rawalpindi. This is his 104 test compared to 96 Marsh Tests. Healy ended up with 395 dismissals from 119 Tests. The count was later taken over by South African goalkeeper Mark Boucher (in his 103rd test, 16 smaller than Healy) and another Australian goalkeeper Adam Gilchrist in the 96th Test which was his last. Boucher is currently the world record holder.
Healy also holds a record in Cricket Test (along with Mark Taylor) being the only cricket that has been exhausted in two rounds of the Test on two occasions.
Happy separating
After four months off, the Australian team toured Sri Lanka in August and September 1999. In three Tests, Healy only made 25 runs and took four catches. The team made a short visit to Zimbabwe the following month, to play the inaugural Exam between the two countries, in Harare. Healy makes five and takes two catches.
During the 1999-2000 season, the selectors explained that they wanted Adam Gilchrist to survive for the Test team and also the ODI. Initially, Healy requested that he be allowed to play another season and then retire, which was rejected. He was then asked to play the first Test, scheduled for his home ground in Brisbane, as a farewell. It was also rejected, so he announced his immediate retirement from all forms of play in a statement released on October 28, 1999. In response to the extraordinary public farewell given to Shane Warne, Glenn McGrath and Justin Langer at the end of the fifth Test in Sydney in 2006 -07, Healy asks old players to have their split for a game that is managed more precisely than his own.
Post Retirement
Healy's performance was recognized when he was selected as a goalkeeper on the Australian Cricket Board team in the 20th century, above greats like Rod Marsh, Wally Grout, and Don Tallon. He was also recognized as Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1994. He also began a career that presents the sport at the top ranking of Queensland's Nine News; he was originally presented on the evening show in 2007 and 2008, before moving to the weekend from 2009 to 2016, after weekly sports routine presenter Wally Lewis made a full recovery of epilepsy. He also coached the cricket team Somerville House. Since 1999, Healy has been a cricket commentator. He was inducted into the Australia Sport Hall of Fame in 2004 and the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame in 2008. Healy now owns a car wash business in Brisbane called Hoppy, who prides himself in its capacity to wash 50 cars per hour by hand on service sites full and more in place of their express exterior carwash. Their site is now number 10 in SEQld, Australia.
Family
Healy has two brothers and a sister; Ken, Greg and Kim. Ken played a Sheffield Shield game for Queensland in 1990 and a List-A game in 1991. He married Helen and has two daughters Emma and Laura, and a son, Tom, who is also a goalkeeper, representing Queensland and Australia at level U-19. His nephew, Alyssa Healy, is housed for the Australian national cricket team, Southern Southern . Alyssa married her childhood friend, Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc in April 2016, making him the nephew of Ian's man.
