Why the hell isn’t Mavuta bowling?

This game is shaping up nicely a few more wickets here could make things very interesting. The two wickets will surely peg West Indies back a bit. They cant really afford to go after the bowl for now that is.

I’m so confused to why Mavuta hasn’t bowled yet, we’re into the 31st over here and Wellington has bowled half of them

How sad it is that we are having such a good testatch going on and Raza, Burl are playing for some shit T20 league team. I think Sikki and Burl could have been a handful on this track with the ball. Wellington was not needed and probably Makoni could have sat out for Sikki.
Wellington never getting any credit again :roll: He and Mavuta bowled beautifully in partnership together for a long time. The pressure he built at one end (literally never bowls a bad ball) surely contributed to Mavuta’s wickets at the other end.
Wellington is a good bowler, just that comparatively he offered what other also do as spinners and the likes of Burl, Raza are proper batters so often his place comes under scrutiny.

Either Mavuta is injured or Ervine has lost his mind.

I'm hoping they prepare a better wicket for the next match. If Wiliams is back I think we can give them a real run for their money on a wicket offering a bit of turn

I wonder if they’ll be ambitious and try to declare and set us a target? Or are they just going to bat and bat? Hopefully not the latter although this Windies team seems like an exceptionally boring one.
