agreed not a bad innings, and for a few hours he raised my hopes he wasnt as rubbish as i thought he was, however, he soon proved me right by playing an awful shot to get out, if sidebottom can withstand murali then why cant prior ! his glovework was ok, AT best ! he did drop a few that came through to him....and missed a couple of catchs and a stumping off monty... but he's done enuf to be there for second test... dont forget that first innings duck tho mr pryke.

Blimey, he can catch as well :o :o :o

Prior not Pepe hehe

Although CMJ and Simon Hughes were questioning Prior's consistancy with the gloves, they both felt that in the future he will be a good enough batsmen to be selected as a specialist batsman for England
