The guy is not a good one day cricketer why do the sri lanka selectors continue to pick him?

Because Chandimal evidently slept with every selectors wife and left margarine in all of their jam jars.

He isn't. Sri Lanka's lower middle order or lack of is a worry.

Chandimal was slow ro reach selectsuckers sausages than some others. In a line up of MJ, Dilshan, Sanga, Chandimal, Samarweera, Mathews and Perera he is a good fit as he is an anchor man. Current team has too many of them.

He is a good one day player, problem for him is, S Lanka's top 4 set a good platform so he is unable to come in at his normal position. Instead he is shifted down to 7 and looks out of his depth playing at the end of an innings.

They dont feel he's ready from what I hear from some insiders. Grooming him for wickets in SA and AUS.

He can play the anchor role if the top 4 fail. However this is not his format regardless.

Never liked him as a plyer TBH.Lack of able backup perhaps?I don't know a lot about Srilanka's domestic circuit,so that could be one of the reasons why he continues to find a place in the ODI team.

Sam ideally is a #3 batsman. MJ, Dilshan, Sam, Sanga, Chandimal and Mathews is the perfect batting lineup SL can have in ODIs.

But due to poor performances in the BJ tests this will not happen.
