Bluey is a TV icon in Australia and is also smashing records in the US, with the show reaching number four on the most streamed series list.
In June, a number of Australian cricket identities – including decorated wicketkeeper Ian Healy – praised the animated series after the popular children’s show paid tribute to the sport.
Healy, who played 119 tests for Australia, felt the show produced in Brisbane is a throwback to simpler times.
“We think we’re busier than ever before, the backyards are smaller than they were… and if we just go to the park now there could be safety issues,” he said.
‘At a time when the game is trying to reach more and more schools, it’s good to see this episode coming out.
‘I love Bluey – just the simple, powerful messages. You sit down to watch one episode and you end up watching three or four episodes.”
Healy’s thoughts were echoed by fellow Aussie cricketers, with former opening batsman Ed Cowan reportedly choking back tears while watching the episode in question.
Ex-Aussie paceman turned media personality Trent Copeland tweeted ‘how good’ at X after sitting back and enjoying the show.
