I think we should pick three middle-order bats (not two as you suggested) with one batsman who can bowl at least 10 overs of decent stuff per innings ie a genuine all-rounder. I think Bopara and Rashid are genuine all-rounders and either, but not both, could be in the side batting at #6. This year Bopara deserves his place in the team ahead of Rashid.
