Chris Read. Say no more...

Prior, is to inconsistent with the bat and not a good enough batsmen to be honest. And in my opinion it doesnt really matter how good a keeper he is, because they will all be good enough keepers because if they weren't they wouldnt have made it this far, its specifically down to the batting qualities, and Kieswetter is the best, even though he is not english a long with most of the team, which i do not feel is right. But we do need another batsmen, because if im honest we lack someone with real quality someone we can depend on like a ponting, smith, tendulkar/sehwag

that video is atleast 5 years old am sure he has improved since then !!! dont ya rekon

[Colesy]

1. Prior - has done nothing wrong
2. Kieswetter - he's very good and should be given a chance soon
3. Foster - best gloveman and not too bad with the bat, hasn't got time on his side
4. Davies - good batsman, not a bad keeper
5. Ambrose - decent batsman but possibly worst keeper out of the 5

which England batsman, strauss aside this last year, can be described as consistent? cook and bell have just saved their careers after long droughts, no hundreds for colly in a fair while and kp's been injured. prior catches, byes have reduced and he averages 38/9. batting keepers are hard to find, we have one with real potential and a fair bit of experience now. prior could be compared to boucher in the way he is starting out - two or three years down the line he could be indispensible like mark b.

Alvaro - Prior is not, and never will be, in Boucher's league as a gloveman.

[quick-keep]

Prior will never be as reliable as boucher with the gloves and bat.

[Alvaro]

Alvaro - Prior is not, and never will be, in Boucher's league as a gloveman.

I didn't claim that - though Boucher was not the most reliable keeper when he started. My point was more that he could become the heartbeat of the team with experience and nous, which would be beneficial for England, and score runs.

[espocrespo]

prior isn't even english, so lets see would prior replace boucher in the SA side, no, so he isnt as good

[Alvaro]

at no point did i say prior was better than boucher, i just used him as an example of what perseverance can result in.

[Marcussjd9]

If we're talking test matches, most definitely NOT Kieswetter.

Such a poor statement to make. Prior was born in SA, I don't think he'd appreciate being called South African though.

Did anyone see the England Lions are playing both Kieswetter AND Davies at the moment?
