What an embarrassing effort. Van Dyke is too easily read by the opposition now. Being tall is not enough. As for the other geriatrics Julie Seymour?? Leana de Brainless. If they can't play netball there are plenty of others available who can. Ruth Aitken's initial successes came from inheriting a good team from Yvonne Willering. Now that she is calling the shots she has to go. Team selection is based on what? Old pals? Certainly it's not on ability or even past proven skills. Get rid of Ruth. Get rid of the dead wood. Go Silver Ferns. Go New Zealand. Do what's right - dump the dummy. We have awesome players and coaches in NZ - let's use them. How many of the winning side of the National Cup in the squad? Is that a coincidence?
