There’s only so much wear and tear that players can take before their performances start to drop – Harten’s already carrying a knee injury, Serena’s had glandular fever and Geva’s one of the older players who has had physical issues in the past. Good on them for recognising hey need to recuperate, and for once EN for doing what’s right for the players. If NZ beats us by so many (still not sure it’s 100% certain, either), then fair enough – we need to build more strength in depth and if we break these key players, we’d have to replace them anyway.
