2021 Test Series – Aust v Eng (Oct)

hopefully this will go ahead, possibly Brisbane, Be good for Nat and Helen means they would not have to quarantine. Think for this we have to put our best team out there for at least one of the games. here is my choices for starting 7

GK Mentor
GD Francis Bayman
WD Cobden
C Guthrie
WA Haythornthwaite
GA Housby
GS Harten

Subs going

Fisher, Joseph, Clarke, Williams, Drakeford Lewis

Could change after watching performances against New Zealand. These players have all played/still play in Australia

Bassett unavailable for CC after knee surgery

Hope this means she can regain some of her past form and play well in the SSN.

If they get the chance to have a camp before the test matches I hope they invite another shooter given two are now injured. I know Dwyer was invited but I’d like to see someone like Glasgow (who I personally think is better at GS than GA) also invited, now is the time to get players exposed to the diamonds environment

Think the next question will be when. England will have to travel from New Zealand and possibly Quarantine for 14 days so earliest could be around 15th October. What about Constellation Cup games as well, Guess Jo, Nat and Helen have bit of time off now

England have a much better chance of no quarantine coming from Christchurch. If the All Blacks were allowed then no reason why they should have issues.

Air NZ will put a charter flight on. No big issue there.
