Outgoing Australian<\/a> captain Alyssa Healy<\/a> has bid farewell to the ODI format in style after smashing a sensational 158 runs off 98 balls against India in Hobart to set up a 185-run win.<\/p>\n

Healy, who announced her retirement last month, was welcomed to the middle via a classy guard of honour from the Indian team on Sunday.<\/p>\n

She was met by young star Phoebe Litchfield at the crease to start the third and final ODI match against India.<\/p>\n

Litchfield only lasted 20 balls before she was caught by Nallapureddy Charani, though, with Georgia Voll then coming to the middle to begin a dominant innings with Healy.<\/p>\n

Healy, 35, had an early scare after Voll’s arrival as Renuka Thakur struck the Australian star’s pads and let out a roaring shout to appeal for an lbw.<\/p>\n

The umpire did not flinch after the ball was bowled, but Indian skipper Harmanpreet Kaur called for a review.<\/p>\n

The review determined it was up to the umpire’s call, meaning Healy would survive.<\/p>\n

She needed a little over 30 minutes more in the middle before she hit 50 off 49 balls. An immediate round of applause from the Hobart crowd sounded as Healy raised her bat.<\/p>\n

“That is a wonderful moment,” Hannah Darlington said on Fox Cricket.<\/p>\n

“We have all enjoyed watching her over her 16-year career. She is one of the best.”<\/p>\n

However, that was not the last time fans got to see her raise the bat in an ODI, powering through another 13 overs before nailing a four to surpass 100 runs.<\/p>\n

“She gets her eighth century … What a way to finish your career,” Julia Price said.<\/p>\n

Darlington added: “Not only did she go out for the toss for the last time, but she we walk off after this innings and hang up the colours.<\/p>\n

“This has been a sensational knock.”<\/p>\n

Healy managed to reach 158 before she was clean bowled by Sneh Rana.<\/p>\n

“What a ridiculous sport we play that it can kick you down so many times and then give you opportunities like it has today,” Healy said after the match.<\/p>\n

“I’ve hated every milestone match so today was just an opportunity to go out and enjoy it and it was one of the most enjoyable experiences I have had.<\/p>\n

“I was fine this morning and then seeing Lucy Hamilton make her debut made me realise how special and lucky I have been over the last 15 years, to have done it as many times as I have.<\/p>\n

“It’s a nice way to sign off in yellow.”<\/p>\n

Beth Mooney also tonned up, scoring an unbeaten 106, and Voll made 62.<\/p>\n

The hosts posted a mammoth 7-409, Australia’s third-highest total in history.<\/p>\n

India was then bowled out for 224 with 3.5 overs to spare.<\/p>\n

Leg-spinner Alana King starred with the ball, claiming 4-33.<\/p>\n

Healy only has one more game left until she farewells the sport for good, with a looming one-off Test match set to take place from Friday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Outgoing Australian captain Alyssa Healy has bid farewell to the ODI format in style after smashing a sensational…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":512961,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564],"tags":[64,63,740,85],"class_list":["post-512960","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cricket","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/512960","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=512960"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/512960\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/512961"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=512960"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=512960"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=512960"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
