The New Zealand Silver Ferns have already won the Constellation Cup with an unassailable 3-0 lead in the series. Can the Australian Diamonds hold them off in the final game in Melbourne? Follow live.
In the fourth quarter of Sunday's game, Silver Ferns midcourter Maddy Gordon was awarded possession in a contest and the 11,000 strong crowd in Sydney didn't like the call. A chorus of boos rang around the stadium and Gordon responded by mimicking a chattering mouth with her hand. A cheeky gesture that was caught on broadcast.
"I don't know what came over me," Gordon laughed.

"I was just a bit over the crowd booing blatant contact calls so that was just my reaction, a bit of an eye roll and a bit of a, you know.
"I back it. You know I'm all for loud and passionate crowds, love them, but just the booing yeah, got me. In that moment I just had enough … it was funny that the camera was right on me."
We'll keep an eye on Maddy and see if there is any more crowd interaction in game four. Read more on the story from New Zealand Radio Sport's Bridget Tunnicliffe in the article below.
