I was also thinking Cook at 3, I will go with your suggestion though... think I may have ended up with to much batting!

I think your team balance is fine at the moment stphndbsn. At this rate you'll end up with five bowlers which is enough and you can always shuffle Wilf down the order if need be.

I'm still trying to work out what is better for a top 6:

2 absolutely rubbish, 1 really ordinary and 3 excellent bats OR
1 absolutely rubbish, 3 really ordinary and 2 excellent bats

I guess option 1 because having an extra match winner..
