Why Blackwood not bowling?

Here is WI languishing in the fields at 243/2, as I predicted and still refusing to utilize all available bowlers, like as if they do don’t need his bowling skills. The man has already taken wickets in a test match and consistently bowls for Jamaica with some success but somehow been ignored as a bowler.

We need all bowlers on deck!!

Lets get a message to the skipper to get Blackwood on the ball when play resumes. Also, as soon as he completes his spell, have him take the gloves from Dow who had a rough day behind the stumps.This skipper is obviously misusing the talents at his disposal.

Who next, Dowrich?

That will teach them for leaving out The Wall.

I am curious, why Blackwood and not the spin of Campbell? Did you see a need in the NZ innings for the slow medium bowling of Blackwood?

Well Blackwood has taken two test wickets at an average of 97. Perhaps the chap had a dream that Blackwood bowled out a team last evening. Very unlikely, but miracles do happen.

Well he used to call for Campbell to bowl but after he found out that they banned him for flinging in FC cricket he decide to switch to Blackwood lol

Did you jokers see that on the A-team actually 9 bowlers were used and even Pooran got a wicket over more reliable bowlers? Now that’s a thinking captain!
Guess what guys ? All our bowlers on both teams are struggling, let face reality, so all bowlers should be on deck!
