I've got a top order of Tres/Roy/Root/KP/Buttler/Flintoff/Colly. Not going to get in on batting alone, but as a fielder and my sixth bowler and a level head and possibly a captain option he gets in. I accept his batting stats are a little weak.
Nothing against Morgan, he's a good pick. Had some big batting droughts over the years though.
