Healy’s absence was not demonstrated until the draw, but after the game he spoke for the first time about the full extent of the trauma to the connective tissue that runs under the arch of the foot from the heel bone to the sole of the foot. suffered an occasion working between the wickets during Australia’s penultimate group match against Pakistan.
“It hurts a little,” he said with a piece of tape under his sock. “I tore my plantar fascia. I completely tore one and partially tore the other.
“It was just a matter of service and pain and what I could care about. In the end, I only had one sport in me and I made the wrong decision at the end of the last one.”
“It was a really dry decision to create an extreme night as maybe we were going to give it a punt first,” Healy added. “I tried to manufacture the workforce solution and sat back, I’m fed up instead of taking the risk.”
Healy’s availability for the WBBL, starting October 27, and India’s tour of Australia starting in early December is unknown.
“I don’t know,” he said when asked how long he expected to be out. “We’ll evaluate that once we get back. The WBBL starts on Sunday, so we’ll re-examine that as we go.
“Tonight was always going to be a long shot and probably what I would have to go through to try to play the game wasn’t going to be very pretty either.
“I was dry doing everything I had to do to aim and enter the market tonight. In the end, I made the team decision to sit down, I’m sick and give women who are absolutely compatible the opportunity to progress in the market and make “This is what it is and hopefully it’s getting better and we’ll be able to play a bit more cricket in that time.”
Healy was an uncomfortable spectator as Australia posted 134 for 5 in an unusually conservative innings after being sent to bat first.
“It was dry on the face, realizing that you can’t really move forward on the market and assistance,” Healy said. “But it was good to see so many positives during the match. It didn’t end the way we would have liked, but I think we played some excellent cricket.”
“It’s knockout cricket, right? If you don’t turn up that night and things don’t go your way, then you’re out. So it’s pretty ruthless. We’ve been in similar positions before and we’ve gone over the line. So I wasn’t going to be tonight, but we will learn from it and get better.
“T-Mac had the opportunity to be captain in my absence before and did extraordinarily well,” he mentioned. “At the time it happened, everyone was quite aware that things were a bit bleak and that people would probably have to play different roles.
“I’m not at all critical of his optimism in approaching the problem and saying, ‘You know what, admirable, I have the opportunity to try this, do this, whether it’s opening the batting lead or not.’ It doesn’t matter what it is, so that It’s where I think the gang is in one of these admirable playgrounds.
“It’s a bit of a disappointing night because we’re actually in a very good place as a team and unfortunately, one bad night people are going to write about us, but I think where we are as a team is very exciting for the future.”
