Silver Ferns just lost to Malawi 57-53.
Go Malawi, where ever that is.
Is Netball just going through a bad phase ala Rugby League or is it that other sports have simply purged netball's talent pool?

@sneakdefreak I think a variety of factors at play. We lost some true greats to retirement in the past few years. Some players (eg Folau) have been playing on past feats. Lots of young uns who will be better for the experience, but still learning the ropes. You can just see on the court, the flow isn't there. Wayward passing, lots of penalties which means they aren't assessing space very well, and then that lacklustre shooting in the circle. Also not terribly impressed with the coaching line up. The Ferns seem to have stagnated big time.

Can't believe we were beaten again at the death by yet another ocker in that time trial...
Fortunately UK telly staying with the mens squash (NZ v Wales) so I can calm my nerves..

Fucking stitch up! Oh so the last rider is an aussie and amazingly come first? Bullshit as fuck

Paul Coll (NZ) lost the first game in squash against Makin (Wales) but this seems to have inspired Coll to some anger - currently 3-1 to Coll in the 2nd game.

@canefan If the Black Sticks can get a draw or win, they will go through top of pool thanks to that big win over Ghana, and probably avoid England in the semis.
I think we'd have to beat the Australians - a draw would require a miracle assist from Scotland.
TVNZ should just go to ad breaks when the Australian anthem plays - it's a win-win!

No sympathy for Netball NZ from me when you choose a coach who had won nothing at senior level before the appointment. It's obvious who should have been the coach but Taurua didn't even get an interview. Not a favourite with the suits (or skirts) at NNZ.
