The fab four all batting together

123/5
Ideally in the positions they're most comfortable, so that solves one - KW #3
Smith being the clear best gets #4.
Root and Kohli are an interesting one. Neither huge fans of #3, but Kohli prefers pace to spin. Probably go Root #5 because he spent a fair bit of time there early on iirc and Kohli to come in and be unfair against a tired attack at #6.

Yeah I'd go for this same order.

I would not have Fab 4 in 3-6 , because 7 is for keeper and I need an all rounder to help get 20 wickets to win the match ..
So i would have Smith open, I think in his prime with his eye hand coordination he would make a very good opener , his record at No.3 is outstanding plus I think he loves getting to bat as soon as possible, he can make the the step up ..
No.3 is for Williamson cause that's his usual position in Tests , No.4 is for Kohli because of his conversion rate, and Root can bat at no.5 where he can counter punch and he's probably the best at getting starts , ideal for middle order ..
So :
Opener - Smith
No.3 - Williiamson
No.4 - Kohli
No.5 - Root

Good point, Crawley and Duckett there alongside Smith et al. kinda makes the whole thing a bit incongruous.
Because with them there the thread title should say "Fab 6".

None compare with "Woakes the wonderful one" though.

You have to have them 3-6. That's the scenario presented ffs. jesus. If you're given three wishes do you ask for three more wishes? Answer the question ffs
Ringo at 3 - steady and effective, even opens from time to time, with an s/r of 27.
Lennon and McCartney keep swapping at 4/5 and it becomes a source of bitterness in the side until Lennon quits for the T20 circuit. McCartney the more effective at 4 overall but Lennon's ability to produce magic innings makes him the critics' favourite.
Harrison at 6 - at his best, brilliant but also prone to periods of utter trash. Career nose dives for a while when his wife has an affair with "slow left hand" spinner Clapton.

You take your fantasy scenarios very seriously..
I'd go Williamson, Smith, Root and Kohli if there's no room for flexibility.
