@TB Hume has taken time out from netball.
A couple of teaser pictures out of the SF camp with Nweke jumping.
Samason is a GS, who is very injury prone and seems to lack fitness. She will take prob 2 years to learn the NZ style of play. Just about every import struggles in the ANZ.
I can see her being on the bench a lot.The @AussieDiamonds are playing their 500th test match today.
From 499 games, they've had 411 wins (82.4%), 78 losses and 10 draws. Almost a third of their matches (163) have been against NZ, resulting in 103 wins (63.2%), 58 losses and 2 draws.#ConCup23

Starting lineups on Champion Data say Paige Hadley is starting in C… but it also says Burger is starting in GS so who knows!
I’m at the game – well the pregame. Grace was out shooting at the mens’ halftime break. Maia was not. So while I can’t find a reliable team list, looks like she might be back.
StatsNerd21… the NZ team hadn’t been finalised at that stage and until it was, it was listed in alphabetical order. 😉
Oops, thanks Ian!
Watson comes on for Jury after Australia gets off to a good start. They lead 14-9 after 12 minutes.
1/4 time: AUS 16-11
Koenen 9/9 (100%)
Austin 7/8 (88%)Walmsley 9/9 (100%)
Ekenasio 2/3 (67%)A strong opening Q from the Diamonds. They looked in some sort of control when leading 16-9 and with possession but a turnover allowed the Ferns to get back into it late.
That umpire should just give the ball to Bruce……………oh wait she has!
1/2 time: AUS 28-23
Koenen 16/16 (100%)
Austin 12/16 (75%)Nweke 9/10 (90%)
Ekenasio 5/6 (83%)Ferns putting a lot more pressure on the Diamonds in the 2nd Q coming up with 4 possession gains to none from Australia. Nweke came on strong but gave up 4 turnovers.
Can someone please explain the short pass rule. At lot of passes in the NZ attack end look short to me. I thought there was supposed to be enough space for another player to move between but I acknowledge I don’t completely understand the rule.
Ferns are playing well and look hungry. Diamonds need to find another gear. -
