Pardon me, I got that wrong - Chapman not picked for England ODIs. Henry 'I like Gary and Gary likes me' Nicholls in, instead. Sigh.

Had to give them opportunities to adjust to the conditions, they did and gunned it in the last two matches.
Hugely looking forward to the England ODIs.

That is grim. I am absolutely sick to my eyeballs of Gary Stead, and the goons who extended his contract.
Neil Young
State Vice-Captain
Yep. I can't believe they were the same side. Dropping Lockie helped, mind you.

Really looking forward to the decider match of this series

Another drawn home series, no wonder Bazball has transformed England into the undisputed No. 1 cricket team.

Told ya … even though we needed two runs.
Agreed. We're short of finishers for the World Cup, and Chapman is that plus a better batsman right now, and has a bigger future. But yeah nah Nicholls, sweet as.

Chapman is unavailable for both the England and Bangladesh ODIs due to his child being born.

Rough timing for him. This was the perfect time to really push a WC spot.
Not sure this is true for England?

Boult & Jamieson return for England ODI series | T20I squad updates
Tom Latham will lead an experienced ODI squad against England this September, the team’s penultimate series before the ICC Cricket World Cup starting in October in India
“Mark Chapman and Jimmy Neesham will miss the four-game series as they await the births of their first children, while Ish Sodhi is also returning home after the T20I series against England to spend time with his family ahead of a busy period of cricket.”

Latham will bat #5 IMO. Kane-Mitchell-Latham-Phillips.
Agree that Chapman would be a better backup squad batsman than Nicholls though.
Moss
International Vice-Captain
Agreed. And Chapman-Young-Nicholls should really be the order of preference here, though given Young is someone who bats no lower than 4 he is pretty much guaranteed to miss out with KW back and the other spots locked.

For me, the biggest question after these T20's is Rashid. The wicket may have changed slightly under the lights last night and become easier to bat on, but he was comprehensively out bowled by Rehan.
Not so worried about the seamers seeing as only Curran is part of the ODI squad.
Not a series that will live long in the memory, 4 average matches. The ODI's should be far more important and informative.

It was somewhat annoying to let slip a 2-0 lead in a totally unimportant T20 Series, can only imagine what it must feel like to do that in a high profile Test one.

Made me laugh imagining that it would tbh.

Valid point, I'm wondering what would've been required for that to happen......probably something non-cricket related.
Hahahaha. Yep. My reaction too. Literally no T20I series ever will go down in history.
