Chandrika has the 10th lowest average by an opening batsman (min 10 innings) in Test history. His average of 14 is the all-time lowest by a WI opener.

Yeah, Chandrika will probably get permanently dropped now.
Other than Kraigg, there are no decent openers in the domestic circuit. The selectors will have to start looking down the order.

evin lewis looks like a good talent
Re: The Rally Round Chandrika Thread - dillinger10 - 08-02-2016
I'd go with Leon Johnson. Although not a natural opener, he did open the batting against Bangladesh on debut and did well. He also opened the batting in the two warmup matches, suggesting that the selectors believe he is next in line.

Me too but he has scored his runs lower in the order.
I think he should come in for Samuels who should do the right thing and retire from Test Cricket.

Totally agree on that. Keeping Johnson in the middle order while upgrading on the futility of Samuels would be the most desirable outcome. I'm just not sure this is going to happen.
While I am loathe to bat players out of position, sometimes needs must, and if Samuels is going to remain in the side, dropping Chandrika seems the most likely way of getting Johnson in the XI.
