Wilson's warning to dominant Diamonds

Australian netball great Vicki Wilson has warned the Diamonds to brace for a genuine battle against Jamaica after being reminded of the "good old days" of netball.

Wilson, the current coach of world No.12 Fiji, was on the wrong side of a historic flogging at the hands of the side she represented 104 times on Monday.

But, pointing to New Zealand's shock loss to Malawi on Sunday, the former goal shooter said she's never seen world netball so competitive and Jamaica had emerged as a serious threat at Gold Coast's Commonwealth Games.

"It takes me back to the good old days where the Caribbean were strong and that's what the sport needs," she said after Fiji's 108-23 loss.

"Jamaica, in particular, are very disciplined in what they're doing and Malawi demonstrated cool heads under pressure.

"It'll be intriguing to see what happens in that opposite pool (with New Zealand)."

The Diamonds play Jamaica on Wednesday while England sit pretty on top of the opposing pool.

It's possible for both Uganda and Malawi to finish level with New Zealand in second on points if they beat Scotland and Wales.

New Zealand play Scotland and England, with points difference likely to decide who goes through.

Wilson wouldn't be drawn on New Zealand's current woes, which include pre-Games losses to Jamaica and England.

But she said a likely New Zealand and Australia semi-final still presented as a classic.

"They've a few things to tweak in their forward line but wow, that's going be a great one," he said.

Australia threatened to beat their previous best score in the Fiji drubbing, but still notched a century for just the fifth time since their first Test in 1938.

Caitlin Thwaites' flawless Games shooting streak ended as she shot 30 from 31, while Caitlin Bassett went 40/41.

While they piled on goals at one end they were equally as efficient at the other, not conceding a single first-quarter penalty and only three goals in the third term.

"We love getting the ball down there; I'm happy for them to take all the glory but to notch 100 is phenomenal," defender Courtney Bruce said.
