Sydney Sixers wicketkeeper Alyssa Healy recently underwent surgery after a “gory” incident involving her two Staffordshire Bull Terriers, Misty and Millie. The incident occurred over the weekend and left Healy with an injured right index finger. Initially, the cause of her injury was kept secret, but fellow cricketer Phoebe Litchfield unintentionally revealed the truth.
Healy, however, has assured everyone that she is still on good terms with her furry friends. She spoke to reporters on Monday morning and explained that the dogs were engaged in some rough play when things took a turn for the worse. Unfortunately, Healy’s hand got caught in the middle of the dogs’ scuffle, resulting in the need for surgery.
Despite the unfortunate turn of events, Healy holds no ill feelings towards Misty and Millie. She emphasized that they are still friends, and any harm caused was unintentional. Healy is known for her love of dogs and regularly posts pictures of them on social media.
The incident has not affected Healy’s commitment to her team, the Sydney Sixers, or her participation in the Weber WBBL. The wicketkeeper is determined to get back on the field as soon as she recovers from her surgery. The Weber WBBL games can be watched live and ad-break free on Fox Cricket through the Kayo Sports platform.
Healy is one of the top cricketers in women’s cricket and has been a key player for the Sydney Sixers. She is also married to fellow cricketer Mitchell Starc, who is a fast bowler for the Australian national team. Both Healy and Starc are known for their dedication to the sport and have achieved numerous accolades in their careers.
The incident with Healy’s dogs serves as a reminder that even well-behaved pets can sometimes engage in rough play that can lead to accidents. It is important for pet owners to supervise their animals during playtime and intervene if things start to escalate. While Healy’s situation was unfortunate, she has taken it in stride and has displayed a positive attitude towards her dogs.
Healy’s story also highlights the vulnerability of athletes and the potential risks they face outside of their sport. Injuries can occur in unexpected situations and can temporarily sideline even the most talented players. Healy’s determination to return to the field is a testament to her resilience and passion for the game.
As Healy continues her recovery, she can rely on the support of her teammates, fans, and, of course, her beloved dogs. Misty and Millie will undoubtedly receive plenty of love and attention as Healy heals and prepares to make her comeback. The incident may have been “gory,” but it has not dampened Healy’s spirit or her bond with her furry companions.
