10 best players of all time from Queensland

#7 Ian Healy

Healy is one of the most reliable wicket-keepers to ever play the game

One of the greatest wicket-keepers to have ever played international cricket, Ian Healy held the record for most dismissals by a gloveman at the time of his retirement. The Queenslander played first-class cricket for his home state for around 13 years from 1986 and 1999.

During the course of his career, Healy became the country's pre-eminent wicket-keeper. His agility, catching technique, quick hands and ability to keep well to spinners made him an asset to have in the team. In 231 first-class games, he took 698 catches and effected 69 stumpings. On the other hand, Healy was a handy batsman too. He scored 8341 runs at an average of 30.22 from those matches.
