iirc she was one of the actually competent parts of the Ferns at this world cup too? hopefully it won't be a lee germon-like interregnum
Not surprising, but still sad to see her go. Phenomenal longevity.
Certainly the way she's characterised it sounds like poor communication from NZC. Not sure this is the way to treat our long servers. I don't feel that these contract discussions should ever come as a surprise. If a player isn't performing, then sure, they should be dropped, but I'd hope clear expectations are set and that players are understand those expectations, how they'll be measured etc.Amy Satterthwaite has missed out on a 2022/23 contract despite being one of our best batters, so has retired. Big loss for the Commonwealth Games where NZ should be targeting a medal after an awful World Cup.
Well, David White appears to disagree with your assessment of the young batting talent at NZ's disposal. Certainly needs to be some development as from what I've seen of the women's cricket tournament in NZ, most of the already capped NZ players stand out head and shoulders above the rest as things stand. Satterthwaite will be very hard to replace, but Maddie Green and Brooke Halliday (as examples) aren't in the same league, and aren't exactly 'exciting young talent' either.It's not like we have an abundance of young batting talent beating down the door. We really could have used a few more seasons of her skill, experience and composure.
maybe the UAE board didn't bother to applyAbout time. Not sure what USA and PNG have done to deserve ODI status ahead of UAE, but the remaining three nations deserve it.
