Australian woman cricketer Alyssa Healy created history with her gloves on the third attempt to attain the Guinness World Record title for the 'highest catch of a cricket ball'. Healy on Thursday grabbed an 82.5-metre-high catch at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) breaking the previous record which was of 62 metres height by Kristan Baumgartner in the United Kingdom in 2016.

The 28-year-old posted a video on Twitter, saying: "The irony that it was me under the high ball was not lost..... Was a fun morning and a pretty cool experience!"

Here's the Video...

"Make sure you get your tickets and join in on a World Record," she said in the tweet.

Australia Women’s wicket-keeper Alyssa Healy claimed the major honours at the 2019 Australian Cricket Awards.

Healy received the Belinda Clark Award, as well as the ODI and T20I Player of the Year awards. The Australian wicket-keeper was the standout candidate after a sensational year across formats.

In March, she hit her first ODI hundred, but it was in November's ICC Women's World T20 that she truly came to the fore.

Healy was pivotal in Australia's successful campaign, hitting 225 runs at an average of 56.25 to be crowned the Player of the Tournament.
