Chase admits West Indies got bowling balance wrong against Pakistan

Chase admits West Indies got bowling balance wrong against Pakistan
WI could've made room for an extra spinner, admits Chase after loss to Pakistan · thehansindia.com

West Indies and Pakistan played a cricket match called a Test.

The match was played at a stadium called Queen's Park Oval in Port of Spain.

Pakistan won the match by eight wickets.

The pitch was very helpful to spin bowlers, who make the ball turn.

Spinners took 20 out of the 28 wickets in the match.

West Indies only picked one spinner, Jomel Warrican, and captain Roston Chase said that was a mistake.

Chase also had a finger injury, so he could not bowl much.

Another player, Justin Greaves, hurt his leg and could not bowl at all.

Warrican bowled brilliantly, taking six wickets in one innings.

Chase said his fast bowlers were too slow to adapt to the conditions.
