 Profile

Aaron Heal was an unlikely star of Western Australia's opening Pura Cup matches last summer. A left-arm orthodox spinner who had not played for the Warriors since 2003-04, Heal claimed 15 wickets from the first two games at the traditionally pace-friendly WACA. His initial first-class ten-wicket match came in the second match against Tasmania, when he snared five in each innings. He missed the next game when Brad Hogg returned from international duties and Heal's impact lessened as the season wore on. He finished with 22 wickets at 27.40 from eight games and also chipped in with two half-centuries, but was only used in one Ford Ranger Cup match and one Twenty20 fixture as Hogg was preferred. However, it was undoubtedly a breakthrough year for Heal, who benefited from Beau Casson's move to New South Wales, and he earned a return to the Academy in 2007. Heal should have a good idea of how to extract the most from pitches, as he is doing a turf apprenticeship and has looked after the pitch at the Rockingham-Mandurah club.
