    Criticism of Silver Ferns coach Dame Noeline Taurua's substitution strategy as New Zealand stare down the barrel of a netball series whitewash against England

    Criticism of Silver Ferns coach Dame Noeline Taurua's substitution strategy as New Zealand stare down the barrel of a netball series whitewash against England


    New Zealand's hold on Wednesday's second test fell away when Taurua tinkered with the midcourt - Maddy Gordon, Kimiora Poi and Kate Heffernan were all used at centre.

    Other changes saw brief stints by Maia Wilson at goal attack and Erena Mikaere at goal keep.

    Former captain Adine Wilson says it didn't make sense.



    The dead-rubber game three is in Invercargill on Sunday.
