He is certainly right up there... 100* (96 balls)... his 10th ODI hundred (and 18 50's) in just 57 innings.
SA 206-3 (40.1 overs)
England looking at the thick end of 280+ here, at least, to try and retain their No.1 position in ODIs.

It's strange how often we have a tourist that plays out of their skin. We just really struggle to get this guy out. I think no 2 in ODI is coming

ABdV clearly hit that one... and England have wasted their review earlier.

Except that Prior averages 24.18 from 62 innings, with three 50s, while Kieswetter averages 30.80 from 33 innings, with one century and five 50s.
The perception has been (in recent years at least) that Prior scores too many of his runs square of the wicket, and that when he faces quality one day bowling he is unable to free the shackles by hitting in different areas. His average (over at least two, possibly three or more?) stints in the one day team is pretty rubbish, and while Kieswetter is not much cop he's almost 6 years younger than Prior. His keeping is probably about the same (or maybe a little better?) than Prior's at the same age.
edit to add: I'm not saying that Kieswetter is necessarily the right choice; just that I don't think Prior is either.

ABdV plays round a straight on from Swann... 230-4 (43.4)
A good wicket for England... although du Plessis can BASH it around a bit too.
