He's got a point regarding Monty, he does lack variation he should model himself on Vettori, Monty bowls at the same pace all the time, he needs to work on varying his flight and speed which will in turn correspond with more drift and potentially an arm ball. Prior has improved a lot with the gloves, he's not by any means the best keeper in England, but the complete package batting included, he is up there with a select few. His problems are in his head, with both batting and keeping he lacks concentration and this results in him making basic errors, with his batting he has the wrong mind-set completely, the pinch hitter roles goes completely to his head, when he went away and made runs for Sussex, he batted properly, picked the right balls and played good solid innings, when he gets back into international cricket and is told to pinch hit, he forgets everything he would normally do and he tries to hit everything out of the park, a little bit of control and he could be very good. However he is only filling in for when Steve Davies breaks through and takes over, he is a immense talent with both bat and gloves, I have been speaking to him regularly recently about various things, and he is looking forward to the winter tours with the performance squads and hopes to impress further, I think it is only a matter of time until he is in the side.
