Anyone watching the netball world cup?

[JuneOsborne]

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?

Umpires missing quite a lot of contact from the Jamaican defence.

Jamaica look like they want it more? Their defence is awesome. NZ really struggling to get it into the circle.

Agree. NZ just looks tired. I'm not used to seeing our team like this! They're usually so strong and fast.

Jamaica deserves it.

Will see if NZ can pull it back this quarter, but I do think Jamaica will pull away even more.

Beckford is playing brilliantly today.

At least it wasn't as big a margin as in the previous meeting.

Jamaica is fantastic. It's so good for international netball to have more teams capable of competing for the big prizes. It's always been NZ and Australia; now we can add Jamaica and England, and I hope it stays that way.

South Africa is getting stronger too.

Well deserved Jamaica. On to the big one now!

Oh, Ekinasio. So hard to see her cry.

Settling in for the build up! Come on England!

Right, all ready for this. Loved that little look back on Mentor. As a defender, I've always been inspired by her. Hope she gets to end her last international match on a high!

Metcalf the only weak link in that starting lineup for me. I don't think she had a great game v NZ.

I hope Eboni Usoro-Brown is commentating, I really enjoy her take on the games.

Yes I agree. I feel she's not been getting into space/free as much as Pitman does.

I'm a WA and my kids were taking the piss when I was criticising her. 🤣🤣🤣

😆 I know! Like we could do any better!!

But Chelsea Pitman is fresh, so any wing trouble is sorted!

True @JuneOsborne !

It's amazing how many games they play in such a short space of time.

Heh, I played WD at school but I was impressed by Heffernan today so no comments required.

I filled in for a friend as GS later on when I played soccer (this was NZ) instead.

My call: Australia will take it by two.

Sorry, England fans, but they'll not want a repeat of their earlier loss.

Ooof. This is clinical from Aus.

My big takeaway from this world cup is how quickly things change. Looked like Aussie was well on top of things, then a few mistakes have ceased their momentum a bit. I love that.

Lots of shoving in this match.

England need a change in WA.

Our attacking isn't working.

Get Pitman on. Metcalf too static.

Ashley Brazill is really difficult to play against, I think. She's such a grafter and so disruptive.
