Ian Healy was a vital of the Australian side during his time

Ian Healy will go down as one of the finest wicket-keepers in the history of the game. He was a vital cog in the Australian team and is widely renowned for his work ethic.

Born in Queensland, he burst onto the international after playing just 6 first-class games. He was also an able batsman who scored many crucial runs for his teams.

tAt the time of his retirement, he held the record for most number of dismissals by a wicket-keeper overtaking Rod Marsh.

He was very strict with his gloves and rarely let anything go through. Healy is famously remembered his cry of "Bowling, Warnie!!" while keeping wickets to the leggie. In his 231 first-class appearances for Queensland, the right-handed batsman accounted for 698 catches and 69 stumpings.

He debuted for Australia against Pakistan in 1988 and represented the Kangaroos in 119 Tests. He ended with a breathtaking tally of 366 catches and 29 stumpings.
