I am, thanks to dh getting now TV for the cricket!

I think the BBC will be showing every match from Monday. Or at least every England match.

Anyone else watching?

Yep I am dh has taken the kids to the cinema. Dinner is prepped, lamb slow cooking!
I have tea, tv and candles lit!!
I'm well settled in.

I'm here and ready. Foolishly planned stir-fry for dinner and we usually eat at 6pm, so there will be some tweaks today. I'll prep the veg at halftime.

Why do I get so emotional at the national anthems?!! Idiot!!!

I'll get ours prepped in half time too.

Might help with some of the tension!

Oh no Gina Crampton. We needed her experience. Sad

Yes me - feels like it hasn’t had much coverage in the media this time - probably due to the women’s football World Cup on at the same time and also England not being serious contenders this time

Well. Interesting with hindsight!

I hope she's OK.

The silver ferns are on fire.

I feel Jamaica are playing rough, lots of holding and pushing.

I'm not sure about these goal shoot contacts. She's usually setting her position.

We started well, but it's amazing how quickly one penalty changes the momentum.

I agree.

But there's one for Fowler too.

Ferns need to employ the bounce pass into the circle.

GrouchyKiwi · 06/08/2023 15:29

Huh, didn't realise it was the end of the quarter already.

Blimey, what a different end of the quarter to the start.

I love hearing the strategy chat at the breaks.

GrouchyKiwi · 06/08/2023 15:32

Te Paea! Hooray!

GrouchyKiwi · 06/08/2023 15:35

I think the umpires should have played advantage there. Keep the flow of the game.

I agree. Is that one of the umpires from the game yesterday, that we said we weren't sure about?

OP posts:
GrouchyKiwi · 06/08/2023 15:52

I didn't see who the umpires were today, but looks like it might be one from yesterday.

I thought that short pass already was illegal! I'm sure we couldn't pass less than 3 feet when I was playing.

It used to be (iirc) that there had to be enough space for a third player between the pass. Now I think it's enough space for a third players hand.

@JuneOsborne it's changing back in January I believe. I'm glad. Don't like the super short passes.

GrouchyKiwi · 06/08/2023 16:08

A few more mistakes creeping in from NZ. We just don't seem to be fully match fit.

I was just thinking that they seem tired. Mind you it has been an intense 10 days.

Ah, is that what they meant about the rule change @massistar@massistar
