I can see Kieswetter moving into T20 soon followed by ODI and then Test cricket, he is the best batsman and his keeping is good and getting even better, plus he has age on his side.

I can see him making the move in the Limited Overs sides but I sincerely hope he doesn't get close to the Test sides unless he starts scoring runs on a consistent basis when he's not abtting on the flattest deck in the country.

I think Kieswetter will be playing all forms for England by the end of the year.The sooner they get him in the better as far as I'm concerned. Going to put some money on it...wonder what the odds are ?

May also mean my mate Spurway getting another chance with Somerset.

I guess so Procricket. Butler is the only other keeper Somerset have but it would be a big ask for him to be number 1 keeper in all forms (assuming Kieswetter is with England)

Could see Somerset signing another keeper and Spurway is available.

Played against Jos Butler season before last. Great player for someone who was only 17 at the time. He had 80 no if i remember.

Butler is a superb player, he spanked 160 odd no. against us.  one for the future for sure.  but not ready to take the gloves for somerset if kieswetter is occupied elsewhere.

I'm a big fan of Kieswetter but i think it would be unfair to drop Prior, especially in tests as he really improved and hasn't done much wrong, perhaps Kieswetter should keep in the shorter forms but if he's playing tests it should be Bell that is dropped not Prior.

kieswetter should just come in as a batmen, not necessarily to take the gloves too.  from what ive seen of him in his last few outings he deserves his place, well Trotts place!  in the shorter formats of course.  tests, maybe not just yet.

Prior didn't have the best game today..... Dropped a chance off Swann and missed a half-volley which went for byes. Could be argued they were not easy, but should've been dealt with. Kieswetter to keep in ODI's and T/20's.
