5 Most Underappreciated Wicket-keeper batsmen ever

#3. Ian Healy

Healy was one of the finest wicket-keepers of our generation

Ian Healy is arguably one of the finest wicket-keepers to have blessed the game of cricket. His energy levels were dangerous and his work with the gloves was excellent while he always presented something with the bat during pressure circumstances by playing his natural game and taking the attack to the opposition. Healy had over 4000 runs under his belt in the red ball cricket.

Ian Healy was an exceptional wicket keeper. With the rise of Adam Gilchrist, Healy lost his ODI place in 1997. Because of his shortcomings during the Sri Lanka ODI series, the selectors decided to pick Gilchrist over him for the Ashes. Ian Healy will always be cherished for his complete dedication and loyalty to the team and helping the Australian side to become a dominant team in the coming years.
