why did chandrika retire out

Cornwall makes DeSouza and Milburn look lithe but that would not be an impediment to progressing as he is not Indo or White.

Ah and the case of Rampaul, errrrmmmm.

why did chandrika retire out

Probably because he is Guyanan and he has no steel.

I jest and hope all si well with him as I am a great fan of his.

Also I think the Guyanans of the Indo heritage do well to maintain their cultural heritage by not succumbing, like the Trinis, into having slave Christain first names.

Ok and do not give me the remote example of Suiliman Benn please as the sensible ones know the point is accurate.

Guyanans will most probably win this unless Chubbs score a ton and would then be called up to the Windies team replacing Leroy.

BASSETERRE, St Kitts (CMC) – Half-centuries from veteran left-hander Shiv Chanderpaul and openers Rajendra Chandrika and Shimron Hetmyer, gave Guyana Jaguars momentum but yet another five-wicket haul from Rahkeem Cornwall, ensured Leeward Islands Hurricanes shared some of the honours on the opening day of their Regional Four-Day contest here yesterday.Asked to bat first at Warner Park in the second round encounter, two-time reigning champions Guyana Jaguars were dismissed for 293 with Chanderpaul stroking an unbeaten 81 and Chandrika 64, before retiring hurt.
Hetmyer scored 53 while wicketkeeper Anthony Bramble added 39 but Jaguars suffered a lower order slump, losing their last five wickets for 26 runs.


Off-spinner Cornwall, who had a nine-wicket match-haul against Barbados Pride in the last round, took three of the wickets in the slide to finish with six for 87.
Jaguars were handed a great start by Chandrika and Hetmyer, who added 84 before being separated.
The right-handed Chandrika struck six fours and a six in an innings off 138 deliveries in 3-½ hours at the crease while the left-handed Hetmyer produced a brisk knock, stroking nine fours and a six off just 60 balls.
However, Cornwall struck twice, removing Hetmyer to a leg-side catch by wicketkeeper Jahmar Hamilton then having captain Leon Johnson caught at slip by his opposite number Kieran Powell off the very next delivery.
Left-hander Vishaul Singh perished cheaply for seven to leave Jaguars on 103 for three at lunch but Chanderpaul anchored three productive stands to put the visitors in control.
First, he put on 44 for the fourth wicket with Chandrika who retired hurt at 147 for three and when Chris Barnwell went cheaply for seven, he added a further 42 for the fifth wicket with Raymon Reifer who made 23.
A 66-run, sixth-wicket stand between Chanderpaul and Bramble in the final session seemed to be taking Jaguars into a dominant position.
Chanderpaul struck nine fours and a six off 148 balls in nearly four hours while Bramble produced a 44-ball cameo which included three fours and two sixes.
Jaguars were sailing at 267 for five but once Bramble was taken at cover by Nkrumah Bonner off seamer Jeremiah Louis, the innings collapsed.
