Parry's a gun List A spinner, and Thakor is a pretty good batsman to have in your side.

Any suggestions for batting order?

Chris Wright(Warwickshire)

Last couple of years found some real form after spending most of his early 20's struggling for consistency. One of the quicker bowlers on the county circuit and one of the better white ball bowlers in english cricket.

International Coach
Chris Wright is an intriguing pick. I am wondering where to go when its my turn, its a time in the draft where there are loads of equal quality players left.
 

91Jmay

International Coach
David Willey. Maybe batting him at 7 is a risk in FC cricket, but I think my lineup allows it. He is a top quality List A and T20 bowler, and is a strong boundary hitter I need in those formats.

FC:
1. Alastair Cook
2. Sam Robson
3. Luke Wells
4. James Taylor
5. Ashwell Prince
6. Craig Kieswetter
7. David Willey
8. Chris Jordan
9. Michael Hogan
10.
11. Boyd Rankin

List A:
1. Alastair Cook
2. Craig Kieswetter
3. James Taylor
4. Ashwell Prince
5. Sam Robson
6. David Willey
7.
8. Chris Jordan
9. Michael Hogan
10.
11.Boyd Rankin

T20:
1. Alastair Cook
2. Craig Kieswetter
3. James Taylor
4. David Willey
5. Ashwell Prince
6.
7.
8. Chris Jordan
9. Michael Hogan
10.
11. Boyd Rankin

Obviously in List A the order with Robson/Prince/Willey will be dictated by match situation. If I lose two wickets early then Prince could jump up to 4 and if there is a platform Willey will move up to 4.

Probably keep the same order for the shorter formats, maybe swap Nash and Moeen Ali. McKenzie and Ballance probably a little bit far down for one day cricket but there are no real lower order hitters left to bring in.

Steven Crook, a decent lower order power hitter in List A and T20, as well as a guy who bowls genuine pace. Gives me plenty of bowling options in T20/List A as well.

Woop sorry for the late pick.

Alan Richardson - Only picked for the first class game. Still at 38 one of the most durable and consistent performers with the red ball. Last few years has always been in the top 5 of wickettakers and has carried the worcestershire bowling unit.
