Ignoring the fact that he wouldn’t be anywhere near good enough to play for England?

Record chase for us.
Sunil Ambris making runs is a good sign. Always is.
Our bowling needs to be fixed asap.

Ambris is a really good List A player, he should easily be there ahead of Bravo. He rotates the strike, hits boundaries and is the type who has got a run a ball 50 before you know it. Rather like Joe Root I guess. Obviously has a long way to live up to that comparison but hopefully you can see what I'm trying to get at. The batting is looking really sharp ahead of the world cup.
The bowling, however, is awful. All seam bowlers apart from Gabriel went the distance today as the pitch was flat, but they could have been more consistent. Nurse and Allen are awful spin options, we might as well play Chase and Campbell and fill in overs with them.

More terrible batting against world class spin from Bravo, Chase, Carter, Holder and Allen. No intent at all.
With a man set and scoring at a reasonable strikerate at the other end they needed to show more intent.
This series had been great for Campbell, Ambris and Hope but noone else has put there hand up with the bat and the spinners have been abysmal with the ball.

What really worries me tbh is Holder's captaincy in ODI's.
The ball started turning and holding up in the surface and yet Allen got 3 overs, Chase 6. Neither of them went at more than 4 an over.
He has no slip in and singles were easy to come by. He doesn't seem to have much attacking imagination as a captain.

Ambris should play ahead of Bravo. The batting will look real deep, attacking and good if that happens.

I don't think Stirling is too much of a downgrade from Ed Joyce and Rankin. Utility ODI player.

Yeah but Ed Joyce wouldn't be anywhere good enough to play for the current England side either.
