Runako Morton has been a gun lately and always looked like a likable chap in internationals albeit an underperforming one.

Morton had a massive 08-09 but seems to have missed out on the most recent season a fair bit. I'm a bit weary of playing Silva as a specialist bat (even though he has done a fair bit) since he is my spare keeper, and I don't want to overplay him right away. I want him to take the gloves off dire Dhoni tbh. ****ing Dhoni.
I like to play batsman in their favorite/natural position, keepers bat #7 so as not to overload. He might move to #6 with a lineup of: Tresco Piranha Bravo jr. LaxMan Jimmeh ****ni Marmadoolah Sohail/Aldridge Senananananananananaheyheyheygoodbye Hilfenhouse MALINGA!
Well Dhoni only ever score runs if he comes in with 300 on the board so he'd probably fail pretty hard at 4. Sadly he'll probably be a much better batsman in this competition than he is in real life.
