Women’s cricket great Alyssa Healy ends her ODI career with 158 for Australia against India

HOBART, Australia (AP) — Women’s cricket great Alyssa Healy ended her One Day International career with a sublime knock of 158 as Australia comfortably beat India in Hobart on Sunday.

The 35-year-old Healy will retire from all forms of cricket following a one-off test match against India in Perth starting on Friday.

She hit 27 boundaries and two sixes from 98 balls for her eighth ODI century.

Australia finished their 50 overs on 409-7 and India was all out for 224 as Australia completed a 3-0 sweep in their ODI series.

She became the sixth woman to post two 150-plus scores in ODIs.

In 2019, she set a then-record for the highest T20I innings with a superb unbeaten 148 off 61 balls against Sri Lanka.

Healy has one chance left to record a test hundred.

Her best score is 99, which coincidentally is the highest test score made by her husband, Mitchell Starc, the Australia men’s fast-bowling great. ___

Australian court bans man from contacting Norwegian princess studying in Sydney

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — A 63-year-old man was banned on Wednesday from contacting Norway's Princess Ingrid Alexander or her family for two years as she studies at a university in Australia. David James Cook appeared in court where he was issued with a two-year Apprehended Violence Order that prevents him from entering the Sydney University campus, searching the 22-year-old royal online or contacting her or her family. Such orders are intended to prevent an individual from subjecting another person to acts of violence, intimidation or harassment. Cook told reporters as he left the Newtown Court House, in Sydney, that the order stemmed from a card he sent to Ingrid, who is second in line to the Norwegian throne.
