What hold does he have over the ECB/Andy Flower?

How many times does he have to fail for them to drop him?

Annoying. :roll:
 

I reckon he's got some revealing photos of Flower and Geoff Miller rimming a Thai ladyboy. It's the only explanation.
 
I'd rather have Luke Wright over him.

How in God's name is Prior not involved? Have him as a specialist batsmen if they're so sure on Kieswetter behind the stumps. ECB need their heads looking into.
 
Lost us the match today IMHO , shit batting and you'd think he'd try to redeem himself bowling - a disgrace
 
Disgraceful. A bit like the Muchall situation at Durham.
 
A good one day player IMO but selecting him for the current series with no cricket behind him after he had cried off was plainly ridiculous.
 
Prior in as a batsman only is a good shout although personally he would be my keeper aswell.

Bopara/Wright bowl "dobbers" so that obviously helps them.

The rest are young lads who are in there to play with no fear and take the bowling on. Him and Morgan (who I thought was unlucky today) are supposed to be the glue that holds the innings together. Bopara has failed in that role for many games now.

Has anyone seen Prior's T20 stats from this season?

249 runs from 6 innings, average of 41.50 at a strike rate of over 196. That's the highest strike rate out of the 50 top run scorers in this season's T20. How the hell is he not in the England team?
 
He sent loads of texts to his mates saying Andy Flower is class and in no way is Andrew Strauss finished at international level.

I don't think Kieswetter has been very good behind the stumps this series and although he's done ok with the bat I would much rather have Prior in the team.

And as far as Bopara is concerned I am not sure Wright is the answer but we need to find someone to replace him as he looks mentally shot now.
 
His ability to bowl medium paced dibbly dobblers will ensure he goes to Sri Lanka. Where he'll score millions of runs!
