World Netball Championship 2011 - Day 4

I rushed to Singapore indoor stadium after my office hours unfortunately waited quite some time for the bus to the MRT station , i was 20 minutes late to my shift .The previous shift guy was waiting for me , he was on duty from 8 in the morning! I apologized to him.Same like yesterday 8 matches were played. When i reached Stadium  Singapore was playing against Jamaica.Jamaicans were far superior in all aspects of the game than Singaporeans. One of the drawback for Team Singapore is that they do not have a strong and tall energetic player for goal shooting.

After the match we refilled ice cubes and water in all the water point.Again there were lots of people in crowd  in yellow shirts - the Australian supporters.Australia was due to play against Srilanka. As teams were preparing i noticed a tall in fact very tall girl among the Srilankan players.My gosh! she was the tallest human being i have seen in my life. I learnt from my fellow volunteer that she is the tallest player in this world cup.
Only thing the srilankans have to do - pass the ball to her, she will easily scored the goal.

 But Australians were well prepared , the blocked almost all the passes to her and effectively made her inactive.

Cheerful Australian crowd

Once again Australians were far superior in all aspects of the game.Excellent team work.

On the court 2 South Africa was playing against Botswana.First 2 quarters were neck to neck but South Africa took control of the game in third and fourth quarters.South Africa too played a close passing game.After the first 2 days , the organizers felt that the courts were sticky specially the on the advertisement stickers.So we moped the courts with detergent,rearranged the chairs,water points and the score boards. At last we finished everything around 10PM and left for home around 10:10PM.

Loud and cheerful Botswana crowd.. they were so much noisy
