Alyssa Healy special

Bbc World Service
About this episode

Alison Mitchell, Charu Sharma and Matt Clinch are joined by Australian superstar Alyssa Healy.

She currently tops the ICC Women's One Day International player rankings and most recently smashed 170 runs in the World Cup final to help Australia win their seventh World Cup title. She tells us all about that final, how she felt playing her shots and how special it was to play after carrying drinks in the 2013 World Cup.

She also tells us about the dominance of Australian cricket, the possibility of a women's Indian Premier League and her family’s influence on her life.

We also hear what comes first in her life; cricket, golf, her dogs or her husband... Australian bowler Mitchell Starc.
