Yeah, I would include him in limited overs just as a batsman, we've seen his power on numerous occasions, I would not bowl him at all in any format. I just think his batting isn't good enough to be a specialist batsman in any format really, I might have to check his recent stats but I'm guessing when Dan comes back it'll be Franky who exits.
Agree with you that he will be the one to go one Vetorri is back, because, as I said, when you have a spinner that can bat we can afford to carry the four specialist seam bowlers. While we don't, as long as we want to play both a spinner, and a fourth seamer, Franklin has to be in the side.
