@Bovidae England were tearing SA a new one when I stopped watching in the third quarter last night. SA looked bloody sharp too, but England were just too good on attack, defence doesn't look anything to write home about though.

This is a great game between OZ and Saffas.

Into the final!

Great work Ferns.

New Zealand win. No dodgy umpire decisions about overthrows, Super Overs or regulations about boundaries to bail England out this weekend.

Good work the girls.

This is the type of news to wake up to.

Like I said, the England cricket team have used up all the mojo available. None left for the netball girls, probably none left for the rugby team either. Time to put one over the evil aussies now!

Quiz question for the future:

Which twins lost World Cup semi-finals as coaches within a month of each other?

This is just a tiny down-payment on the vengeance that needs to be wrought for that cricketing fiasco. George sticking it to Geraint Thomas at the TdF another piece in that bitter jig-saw. Geraint is Welsh, but fuck him too!

@Chris-B England are the team of England and Wales Cricket Board so sticking it to Geraint Thomas counts.

Hopefully Casey and co have their dream finish with the Silver Ferns.

Amazing scenes. The Silver Ferns worked and battled so hard for that.

Casey Kopua rightly named MVP for the Final. Her kid licked the sweat off her shoulder while she was interviewed straight after the match. Just wonderful after all this squad has been through.

Casey: "It's all worth it when you have the belief nothing can stop you. I am so glad that I came back. It feels so good, I can't believe we've done it. It's not just for us, it's for everyone in New Zealand."

Superb interview:

Bovidae

Noeline certainly has the midas touch.

Really happy for Casey, Laura and Maria for finally winning the one title that had alluded them. Same for Katrina as well after the CG debacle.

If that is to be their last game for the Silver Ferns what a way to go out. Tears of joy this time.
