Last match in Melbourne

Playing our last game vs St. Vincent & the Grenadines in bt 3 hours time. Fighting for the spot to NOT be in the last placing for the Commonwealth Games. I'm kinda sure that we will win the game today (hopefully- keeping my fingers crossed), just as sure as I will be warming the bench throughout the entire game. Don't worry, I'm not really complaining. After experiencing the disappointment and witnessing some other couple of negative emotions during the end of Barbados and Wales game, I'm more readily prepared and mentally stronger to handle matters, be it weird or not. So wish us luck for our very last game and that this team will stay strong enough to take things all the way through.

Before I go, I must speak of my experience playing against the Australian Team (even though they didn't put the main lineup). Needless to say, we were thrashed -badly-, as Jeanine puts it, it seemed like they were stealing candy from a baby. Score's 19-107. When I was put on court for the last quart (thankfully), I remembered seeing huge towering yellow pillars. Every 3 strides of mine is equivalent to one of theirs. Every one of them is some heads taller than me. What in the world did they feed on to grow such phenomenal heights? Tall they may be, yet they're extremely agile and lightning fast. It's no wonder so many people idolises them. I was caught lagging behind and chasing most of the time. My only defence is that I was playing Centre (which I played none of even during practice since I first set foot in Melbourne). Utterly bizarre lineup and I was slightly taken aback when doning the bib, though I did manage to keep my composure on court. And of course, I had the honor of collecting the ball from Sharelle Macmohan before every of our centre passes. haw haw haw. Obviously we haven't been putting in goals. Right, before I seem to be condemning my team any further, I thought that we did a pretty good job keeping our grounds. There were very few unforced errors on our part and it was truly the battle of the bodies since both teams' playing styles are almost the same. You'll have the watch the videos to judge for yourself.

Got to go get prepared for our very last game and possibly, first victory. Till then!
