@DaGrubster I'm not saying the WT20 Final wasn't a fantastic achievement and a great back story especially for the veterans in the side, but my caveats are.

The standard was pretty poor this Cup

We got trounced by Australia and the draw opened up for us

Most importantly it's a bogus WC. It's played every fucking year

Still never won one, until now

My understanding is its now an annual event

I think it's every 2 years for T20s and every 4 years for the ODI tournament. Covid affected the sequence of recent tournaments. The next T20 is in 2026 hosted by England.

@Bovidae Thanks My bad I thought it had moved to annual because there was so little international cricket for women

I can't understand all the love for the netball. It was 1 game, against Australia, who we used to beat plenty frequently (60 of 167 according to this website, with a couple of draws https://netballscoop.com/forums/topic/netball-history-australia-v-new-zealand/)

And heading into the CC match our record was 7 wins, 9 losses since 2021. By our own very high standards since the late 1990s, this recent period we have been a little up and down but our record against Oz has still held up.

Test win in India
T20 WC win
Americas Cup
CC win.

The Constellation Cup is like the AB's v Springboks for netball.

NZ has won 2/13 last series. We were coming off a home series loss to England. Imagine if that was the record in rugby. I reckon a trouncing of the favourites would be getting a lot more love in this poll given that scenario.

Anyways the Silver Ferns backed it up last night.

We now go across the Ta$man and try and clinch the series with matches in Perth and Melbourne. If Oz square it, Game 4 goes to extra time.

@dogmeat if we get the series win, yes it will have a higher standing, however on the individual win alone it wasn’t as high as the others because we have been able to get wins in all but 2 of those 13 series.

the really interesting thing re the netball, im in melbourne...no idea it was happening until i saw the results, even in a relatively quiet time for sport (no afl, rugby or league) it didn;t seem to register

~~Did not know this.~~ Even biennially it takes the gloss off somewhat. Still, nicer to have won one than not.
