Opals V Brazil

I was at the game and the Opals were very dysfunctional, lacking any cohesion. It was not really until the second half that Australia starting to click through their defence.

Number 8 (can’t recall her name) for Brazil carved up our guards and did not look like missing in the first half, but went cold in the second half.

The longer the game went, the better the Opals got, and it was their defensive intensity that opened up the game.

I think the play of our “bigs” was very encouraging, with Cambage and Batkovic doing a lot of damage offensively. I actually did not see any issues with Cambage and her body language at all. In fact if there were some issues, it was because her team mates were not feeding her the ball when she had great seals deep in the paint or was wide open!

O’Hea, Bishop and Screen were all solid, and Snell her serviceable self. The Opals looked more composed with Harrower at the helm IMO, and Richards’ handle did not look that flash at all, although she didn’t play all that badly overall.

Trying to think who was on when we went on the game winning run in the third - 22 to 6 .
Cambage Batkovic bishop or was it Ohea , and
Screen and Harrower , I think.
The memory ain't what it was .
Anyways , seems they all got on the scoreboard ,
other than Jarry , who's performance was not of the standard of the others.
