Dear friends, we have two months to go to get Suncorp netball in Aus. I am endlessly watching the World Cup 2019 and thinking, if I had to pick a team to play Australia WITH ONE PERSON PER COUNTRY, who would it be?
So, rules of this fantasy survey are – you pick only seven players; they all must be from different countries (so, you can’t have Potgieter at GS and Pretorius at GD) and whatever country you’re from clearly you can’t have anyone from your homeland. Oh the other rule is that they have to have played at least once in that position for their country. You’ll see below in my picks that even though Guthrie generally plays C for England, she has played WA and I want her there for her defence and tenacity.
Also, they have to be playing for their national team from 2018-2020. Current players please.
Here’s mine
GS – Peace Proscovia (Uganda)
GA – Sindi Sintowe (Malawi)
WA – Serena Guthrie (England)
C – Caroline O’Hanlon (N Ireland)
WD – Laura Langman (NZ)
GD – Karla Pretorius (South Africa)
GK – Shamera Sterling (Jamaica)
Here’s an alternative one
GS – Ameliranne Ekenasio (NZ)
GA – Helen Housby (England)
WA – Lisa McCaffrey (N Ireland)
C – Erin Burger (SA)
WD – Claire Maxwell (Scotland)
GD – Vangelee Williams (Jamaica)
GK – Towera Vinkhumbo (Malawi)
