Many supporters,players and maybe management will blame the umpires ( both Jamaicans) for 'stealing' but were they?Maybe the 'stealing' was done right here before the team even left the island. From an 'advantegeous' view point , the umpiring was fair and spot on. It was a case of a team going into a competition devoid of any knowledge of what sound umpiring is.
It was clear that at the Netball Stadium nightly,players are being disadvantaged by most umpires when they allow them to defend within the 3ft distance,contact unnecessarily and not be penalized and have the ball in their possession for 3 days and not 3 seconds.
It was also a case of a coach NOT knowing the immense talent within her team. It made no sense taking Barbados goal attack Rhea Holder out of the game at half time to be replaced by a lesser talent. Just as it made no sense NOT starting Barbados defence Shanice Rock for the tried and found guilty regular combination.
When the chips are down this coach PANICS!!! Today in Jamaica she glaringly choked,the changes started and nothing positive happened.
Oops!!! I lied! Something positive did happen.It just didn't happen for the Blackbirds.
