Did anyone watch the Netball World Cup semifinal between Australia and Jamaica last night. The Jamaca GS never missed a shot. A strongly built woman, The game seesawed with Aus winning just. They play the Grand Final against England.

I was surprised with the large Aussie support in Cape Town. I turned ion last night and thought they were playing in Australia. it was that loud.

The final, which will start at 2am Monday (AEST) on Fox505. Not sure if its free to air.

Australia, England to meet in Netball World Cup final

Australia will be looking to win a 12th Netball World Cup title when it battles England in the decider of this year's event.

I missed it, but a good bounce back after our loss to England in the previous game.

Not sure what World Netball was thinking putting a World Cup on at the same time as the FIFA Women's World Cup.

I don't know what airtime it's getting. Normally would be huge.

Congrats to the Diamonds on being world champions again

Having been either winner or runner up every single world championship since they began is an incredible record.

They hammered the English girls in the end. The English girls choked. The loss in the earlier match and the scare against Jamaca certainly toughened our girls.
I watch the last 1/4 of the Jamaca/NZ game. They are a good team and would have stretched Australia.

While it's great to see us win, it's also great to see the likes of England and Jamaica step up and contend for major titles so it's not just Australia v New Zealand Finals at every tournament.

Cant imagine the pain of losing your mother at 10yo. But at the same time time, i know under the same circumstances that shouldn't influence whether you are a flat earther or not.

Yes, remnants of the spin caused my fall season softball opener to rain out last night…

 

[AmericanCrow]

Rained about 2 hours—so that was that…

Never rains even for half a day here

2 hours straight is about as long as I have experienced in SV

The Packers game is not on any of them.

The F1 race in Singapore is going to be a really interesting race. Verstappen not in the top 10. Neither is Perez. Will be interesting to see how this race progresses. Will Ferrari go full Ferrari and find a way to lose first position?

And the follow up happened today, his relay team ran an amazing race finished second in their heat and third overall in the metro state champs today. He's pretty excited!
