What happened on the Melbourne field was no less than emotional torture for Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc. You ask how? Hey brother, when the husband is doing commentary and the wife is on strike i.e. batting, then he will be expected to have a great innings, right? But, the wife gave away the wicket and the husband who was commentating was heartbroken. We are talking about Mitchell Starc and his wife Alice Healy. Healy is currently playing the ODI series against the England women's team, where in the second match, she could not execute Starc properly.
When Healy was batting, Mitchell Starc was on commentary. She was also playing excellently. Starc himself, after seeing her game, said in the commentary that she looks in great touch. But, then a ball from Lauren Bell took the edge of his bat and went into the hands of the wicketkeeper and Alice Healy had to return to the pavilion. This scene broke Starc's heart but he did not forget to praise the manner in which the English bowler took the wicket of his wife.

Mitchell Starc's wife Alice Healy scored 29 runs off 19 balls in the second ODI against England. Earlier in the last match, Healy had scored a half-century. In the second match, she was the second top scorer of her team with 29 runs. Ellis Perry scored the maximum 60 runs.
Australia, playing first, scored 180 runs in 44.3 overs. For the first time since 2009, Australia's women's cricket team scored less than 200 runs in home ODIs. Despite this, Australia won the match by 21 runs thanks to the lethal bowling of Alana King. Alana King, after scoring 13 runs with the bat, took 4 wickets for 25 runs in 10 overs with the ball. She became the player of the match.
