England got whistled out of the game, not that that’s why they lost. Can’t believe those two nz umpires let so much rough play go. They never do that in the NZ games. Particularly the male umpire who didn’t seem to be up to it. They seemed to call everything for Australia too. Ignoring the elbows and arm locks of Bruce on her opposite. Cardwell went flying a couple of times – and no whistle.
Can’t understand why Thirlby left off Housby for so long. She’s one of the best GA in the world at the moment, and left on the hobbled Harten.
Will be a great contest tommorrow between Bueta and Sterling. Be interesting to see if the Diamonds try lobbing those high balls into Bueta over Sterling.
I think it will come down to who keeps their composure. If it’s those two nz umpires again it’s going to come down to how they call the game as well.
