There was no consistency in our game, last ODI! Quite poor really plus Jos should have kept his cool.
Must win fixture so looking forward to it.
I would like to think Eoin has had his last game and , well, Halo should have to do a lot more to knock on the selectors' door.
Come on England.

This has been an action packed series to say the least. Two thrilling finishes, and plenty of fight shown by both sides. This will be a tough test for England as Bangladesh are a very good ODI side when playing at home (they have not lost a home ODI series in more than two years).
While I was in favour of dropping Hales from the Test side, I would be disappointed if he were to lose his place in the ODI side. Since 2015, Hales has averaged 42.71 with 4 centuries. The only England batsman with more centuries over this period is Joe Root (5). And over the last year, Hales' average (57.12) is the second highest on the team after Jos Buttler (65.90).
Dropping Eoin Morgan based on his decision not to tour Bangladesh would open up a whole can of worms, and a possible backlash that the ECB would probably want to avoid. From a captain's perspective, I still believe he is the right man for the job. He has been a big reason why this England team has made large strides forward. I think he is a good captain and leader, however, his performance with the bat over the last year (32.13) does make him vulnerable.
