I actually agree with this. I've read a lot about Chris Rogers having had very decent summers in England. On that basis (and his consistent form), he'd be good selection to bring stability to the top order.

Haddin did ok in the tests where he replaced Wade. Better with the gloves than Wade and definitely less impulsive with the bat, whereas Wade is more prone to throw his wicket away. Haddin would also be a great choice as vice captain.

Ryan Harris is a consistent wicket taker when fit. But he's even more injury prone than others in a fragile pace attack. Yet he's playing in the IPL... Would be a risky choice I think.
