Matt Prior being a naughty boy...

[larus]

Thats drinks. Just going back to that incident, Karthik pulled out of his crease twice due to what was being chirped around the bat and behind the stumps. Ganguly saw it and came down, taking him by the shoulder and telling him to get back to his crease and just focus on batting. Prior had a big goofy grin on his face all throughout. Next ball, down walked Ganguly again, advising the youngster not to get involved.
26.6 Panesar to Ganguly, no run, tossed up on off stump, Ganguly defends to silly point and again Prior yells "catch it!"
26.5 Panesar to Karthik, 1 run, tossed up outside off stump, pushed to point
26.4 Panesar to Karthik, no run, tossed up on middle and leg, defended
Whats this? Prior's chatting has got to Karthik, who pulls away, he isnt happy and Ganguly marches down the track, telling Karthik to get on with it and leave it.
26.3 Panesar to Karthik, no run, gives it some air, Karthik square-drives to backward point this time
26.2 Panesar to Karthik, no run, tossed up, spins away as Karthik steers it to backward point
26.1 Panesar to Karthik, no run, tossed up on a length, Karthik defends getting well forward


Well, I hope Vaughan takes him aside later and tells him off. Sledging the oppostions just isn't on is it?

According to TMS Prior was telling Kartik that he should get out and get Dhoni in to give the crowd something entertaining to watch!

Clever sledging
