Congrats to the Strikers, only guaranteed their place in the last 4 on the last day of the season.

Someone explain to me how some players get a game.
Angelina Genford of the Sixers played all 15 matches including the final, batting at No 10, had 3 inns, scoring FOUR runs.
She bowled FOUR overs in those 15 matches. (1-36) I assume she's in the side for her bowling.
I thought she must be Colin Bland in the field & Mark Waugh as a catcher, but only held 3 catches.
I don't think she's worth her place.

Are you sure? She scored 4 runs in 15 matches and bowled 4 overs? If so you're right, that doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

Yeah, I wasn't having a go at her, but nine players played all 15 matches, and she was one of them.
Peterson played 13, Brown 9, Campbell 6 (DNB & bowled 2 overs for 28 in her six matches) & Allen 2 (DNB or Bowl in her two matches).

Looks like the Ferns are making a strong start to their home summer. Added bonus of Jensen, who's playing her 50th T20I, picking up a wicket in her first over.

EDIT: Followed by a two-wicket over by Tahuhu - why did we not offer her a contract, again?

why Jensen, why exist

Without watching, I'm aware there's quite a gulf between the teams - would it be fair to say all bar Jonas would easily make Bangladesh as specialist bats?

I vaguely follow Wellington W in the Super Smash, and thought Kerr basically = McFadyen as a T20 bat (at least in terms of batting order)

Aware minnow-bashing but with this and Tahuhu batting above Plimmer & Down, why was she not offered a contract lol
