ANZ Premiership: Spotlight shines brightly on Australian net

ANZ Premiership: Spotlight shines brightly on Australian netball legend Caitlin Bassett with Magic


Australian shooting great Caitlin Bassett brings star-power to the ANZ Premiership with the Waikato-Bay of Plenty Magic.
The fifth edition of the ANZ Premiership begins next Sunday with the two-time defending champion Pulse getting the competition started against the new look Northern Stars, who have recruited strongly. BRENDON EGAN looks at five players, who will be under the spotlight this season and must shine for their teams.
CAITLIN BASSETT (MAGIC)
All eyes will be on Australian legend Bassett when she makes her premiership debut for the Magic against the Mystics next Monday. The 102-cap test veteran will play under traditional netball rules in New Zealand after she was effectively forced out of Australia's Super Netball due to the controversial ‘super shot’ two-point rule. If Bassett wants to feature for Australia at next year’s Commonwealth Games, she’ll need to regain top form for the Magic. Bassett lost her Australian starting goal shoot role to Cara Koenen in March's Constellation Cup and played just eight minutes in the final three tests against the Silver Ferns, not getting on court in two of them. The pressure is on Bassett this season.
