Matt Prior

Jams Foster

Craig Kieswetter

Tim Ambrose

Steven Davies

[quick-keep]

Who should wear the gloves for england?

[SillyShilly]

Kieswetter is making some good scores in one day cricket, doing well for the lions, he'll have the gloves at some point in the not to distant future in my opinion.
There's a lot of love for fozza though - great player as well, how old is he?

[Talisman]

Foster best Keeper, Kieswetter best all round option.

[quick-keep]

Old enough to be a senior player, lots of expierience as well, vice captain of his county. Prior has turned into an average international keeper but while doing so his batting has slipped. Davies is kind of over rated imo and I put Ambrose in there for the fun of it Fozz for me though.

1) James Foster = simply not good enough with the bat
2) Steven Davies = Not been given the chance yet to show ability on the International stage
3) Craig Kieswetter = Up and coming promising cricketer with a big future
4) Matt Prior = vastly improved with the gloves and a good batsmen and worth his place

prior has done nothing to be dropped , but in my opinion , it should be james foster ! in ODI's i wouldent mind seeing kieswetter given a go !

[quick-keep]

Or: Foster-Tests, Prior-t20 and Kieswetter-odi?

[strokeplayer]

ye mate i agree , not sure england would have 3 different keepers though..

[quick-keep]

They should have tried it for the Bangladesh tour.

[niceonechoppy]

Prior tests, Foster/Davies/Kieswetter odis and T20s (Foster would be my pick).

[strokeplayer]

yeah , if prior ever gets dropped i would love to see foster given a go in the tests , but prior has done nothing to be dropped so i think prior in tests tbh..

[Watsontotty]

Foster ain't good enough at international level with the bat !!!

[strokeplayer]

since when?? a few years ago when he was given a chance? he has improved masses since then.

[niceonechoppy]

Does he need to be amazing in Odi cricket? How many big scores has prior got recently in the shorter formats?

[Watsontotty]

Foster is like a fish out of water and has been given a chance but didn't take it and has now slipped down the pecking order behind Kieswetter etc etc. A few runs in county cricket as hardly improvement which what is needed at the highest level a very good keeper who simply ain't good enough with the bat in the way England now pick keepers.
