foster can do both :) watsontotty you couldent be more wrong in my opinion...since foster was dropped he has improved ALOT , as he you can see from his stat's in county cricket.

Simply not how England select there keepers is it ? they pick batsmen who can make runs and do a job behind the stumps and a Prior is doing a decent job. If it aint broken don't fix it but looks like kieswetter will be next in line and pretty impressive the other day.

Strokeplayer its as you said COUNTY CRICKET not INTERNATIONAL CRICKET a big difference to say the least.

see there your correct fella - as i stated earlier prior has done nothing to be dropped so they should stick with him , yeah kiesweeter is next in line and yes he done very well the other day , but im not sure if i could see kieswetter scoring runs in test cricket..especially if he has to knuckle down..but others may think im wrong and that's fair enough.

I'm putting my neck on the line but im going to say that Kieswetter will be the next Gilly - watched him play a couple 20/20's and other matches and there is something special about him, he's got the SAF Factor!!

The thing is though, he may no get the chance! The selectors seem to think that prior can do no wrong! They will wait until it is to late, Boucher will have retired and before they know it he will be back in SA!

Has to Kieswetter for me, seen him in action at Tauton and he is unstoppable, him and Trego at Glous in the T20 last year, Awesome

Anyone think their is a place in the team for Trego, to do the job Dimi (can't spell surname!) has failed to do recently

Kieswetter, and sooner rather than later... look at aamer and akmal, 17 and 19 respectively, get some youth up in the england team with no fear, no limits!

Tresco, Kieswetter, Pollard, White, Trego...........not a bad little batting line-up for the 20/20's! Sabres year this year!

Dimi Masteranus needs some serious one day form for england! Even more so now Fred is out. Trego hs got a chance. Kieswetter was immense last season, Foster also proved to be quite dominant with the bat for essex in all forms, while still being top notch with the gloves!

Whats the need to change the England keeper? We've just returned from a 1-1 series against SA!
Prior's glovework has improved significantly and his batting is just as good.
Davies looks like one for the future but havent really seen much of Kieswetter to comment.
Foster i'm afraid just hasnt got the batting record to be included in international cricket. As much as i would like to see him return (as an essex supporter) to the england team, it just isnt going to happen. Predicting big runs from prior in Bangladesh!
