I'm a huge fan of Franklin, but more so at test level as a 4th seamer and no. 6/7. As a ODI player there is no point picking him and batting him at 8. He will never be an economical one day bowler as he struggles to swing the white ball and puts it on a hittable length.
I hope Ingram still gets a run in the test - he won't have to go trying to push the run rate, so won't have to try and create runs when the ball isn't in his (limited) scoring zone. First class level is where he has amassed the majority of his runs for the last few seasons.
