Having been coached by Tim Coyle during his stint with Australian women's cricket team, Alyssa Healy and the Sydney Sixers caught up with the now Greater Northern Raiders coach.
"I've had a lot to do with him throughout my career, obviously he worked with the Australian team for an extended period of time, so it's been great to catch up with him," Healy said.
"He's put me through my paces with the keeping stuff over the last week, so it was great to have him around the group.
"He's one of the great minds of Australian cricket, Tasmanian cricket in particular so it's great to pick his brain again and most importantly, just catch up, have a beer and talk all things cricket."
Having been a mainstay of the Australian side for the past decade, Healy holds plenty of international records including most consecutive T20 matches (92*), most T20 dismissals (96) and most runs in an innings by a wicket-keeper (148*).

As a sports-mad fan who loves to remain challenged, sports journalism always seemed the path for me and it's allowed me to do things I never thought possible. A keen racquet sports player, I'm experienced in that field, allowing me to do my job at a strong standard.
