Where Stokes bats more depends on who fills out the rest of my lineup. I need another three batsmen - an opener and then some lower order batters. As I said earlier I tried to have my earlier picks fill multiple roles. Stokes works as a number 4 but he also works as a 5th bowler. Buttler is a keeper and a quality number 6. Gayle provides a part time spin option. Du Plessis gives me a potential captain. All of my bowlers average 15 or more, so all of them could reasonably bat 8 or 9.Haha, I totally get that. The batting and wicket taking ability made me think about. Yeah, I like that attack with Stokes bowling too. Im curious if Stokes moves down from 4 or not.
I personally love my top 4, now its a case of working out who fits in best at 5-7.
So For my last few picks I have a decent amount of flexibility, which lets me pick the best player available rather than having to pick (for example) a rubbish keeper, because I need a keeper.
