Swann to open, that will be interesting. I'm so glad we're going to see Morgan in this world cup, hopefully he'l bang a few runs

Where have they said swann will open as he has done it at county level so it's not new to him

All confirmed now.

Swann up the order to open! Get us off to a good start and bring Bell in at 4. Pretty much keep the order flowing with Morgan at 5!

Swann to open is not confirmed. Infact Flower has indicated we might not have a set batting order for the rest of the tournament. However I would defo vote Swann to open, take it to the bowlers early, and hopefully put some pressure on.

urm... just wanted to point out that Swann is scared of fast bowling... not sure there would be much point in him opening the batting.

Bell will open with Strauss, Morgan will come in at 4.

Swann opens for his county in the CB40, so im guessing he isnt that afraid of fast bowling!

Not much genuine fast bowling around the county circuit but if he's opening I doubt he would back away from a fight

I can't see Swann opening when there's Bell or Bopara available. Either of them would do fine imo, probably Bell first choice.

I couldnt have Bopara opening. Too dodgy and inconsistent.
What about Paul Collingwood, if he is in the squad! Best defence in the world and can pick the bad ball!

Trott is my choice as he has the experience and record to do the job

If morgan comes back into the team I can see Prior opening again.

Wouldn't be smart to open with Swann, imagine the trouble we'd be in if he took one on the spinning finger from the new cherry!

It's now confirmed that Morgan has replaced KP in the squad. The ICC has approved the request.

I think it's either going to be Prior or Bell to open.
