I know next to nothing about cricket, but i do know that some players are better batsmen (batters??) than they are bowlers - Jimmy Anderson is a prime example.
But Jimmy is usually one of the last in, for that very reason.
Moeen is not a noted batsman, but his placing up the order seems to have given him the impetus to move his batting prowess up to somewhere near his bowling, and good on him for it.

andy-hughes, I once sent these rules of cricket to an American friend, he was none the wiser after reading it, I don't know why.
"You have two sides, one out in the field and one in.
Each man that’s in the side that’s in the field goes out and when he’s out comes in and the next man goes in until he’s out.
When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in.
When they are all out, the side that’s out comes in and the side that’s been in goes out and tries to get those coming in out.
Sometimes there are men still in and not out.
There are men called umpires who stay out all the time, and they decide when the men who are in are out.
Depending on the weather and the light, the umpires can also send everybody in, no matter whether they’re in or out.
When both sides have been in and all the men are out (including those who are not out), then the game is finished."
