Funny that you should ask the very thing that I was wondering. Yes, I think Franklin, if he plays, should bat ahead of Vettori. I was impressed with Franklin's batting, though I cannot say the same thing about his bowling so far. I think he should come in at No:8 ahead of Vettori while batting; also, I don't think he should bowl so early in the Powerplays. Bond, Oram and maybe Gillespie should share the bulk of the first 15 overs and then come back later for the third PP session with Franklin and the others bolwing in between. That still allows Bond and Oram (who I belive should be tried as a death bowler) 2 overs each at the end.
