Australia’s Diamonds fall to Silver Ferns in first match of Constellation Cup – Sydney Morning Herald
An exhausted Diamonds side went down 49-44 in the opening clash of a four-game Constellation Cup series, with the loss heavily blamed on hotel quarantine.
The loss was not the start the new-look Diamonds had been hoping for. With a new coach, a new approach to the captaincy and five players on international debut, Netball Australia was hoping for a win to vindicate the changes.
Taking the reins for the first time, coach Stacey Marinkovich made a number of controversial calls. Lisa Alexanders successor confirmed Caitlin Bassett as captain for the opener, despite opting not to name her as captain for the series.
