Australia wicketkeeper Alyssa Healy says verbal intimidation is part of her team's Ashes strategy.

Asked about the tactic of 'sledging', she said: "So long as it's respectful, I think it's part of the game."

Healy is the niece of former Australia wicketkeeper Ian Healy.

Australia face England in three one-day internationals, one Test and three Twenty20 matches to decide the Ashes.
