Champions Trophy: Ian Healy Slams Connolly’s Reckless Approach In SF Against India
ICC Champions Trophy: Former Australian cricketer Ian Healy has launched a scathing critique of Cooper Connolly’s batting approach in Australia’s ICC Champions Trophy semi-final defeat against India.
Connolly, who was a late addition to the squad, failed to justify his selection as he departed for a nine-ball duck against India’s high-quality pace attack. Australia, after struggling to 264 all out, saw India chase the target comfortably with four wickets in hand and 11 balls to spare.
Healy did not hold back in his assessment of Connolly’s approach, particularly criticising his poor shot selection. "I got so angry. Travis Head was gesturing about how slow the wicket was, trying to communicate with his partner. But Connolly just kept swinging. In those conditions, you have to work the ball around and not just go for wild shots," Healy said on SENQ Breakfast.
