Matt Prior - Century on Debut

[Lankyseagull]

Think he deserves his own thread - Great achievement! Well done!

 

[The Large One]

I'll drink a celebratory Harvey's or two this evening - methinks.

 

[Beach Hut]

Think a bottle of red will be in order to celebrate this feat

 

[Kenhead]

Great stuff!

 

[Strike]

Good stuff.

I know it only the West Indies, but a century on a debut, at Lords, batting at No.7, and scoring at as good as a run a ball, is quite simply SUPERB!

MARVELLOUS SCENES

[Withdean Wanderer]

That is BRILLIANT

I'm not a huge cricket fan, but is this the guy that Shane Warne advised should not be picked for England because he wasn't ready?

Shane Warne told the press that Prior was not England material and that his team mate, Pothas, should be the man to take the gloves.

To be fair, we will have to wait to see what he does with the gloves before judging him properly.

Maybe there could be a space for him as just a batsman? Maybe I am getting carried away?

We will need the whole of the summer and the winter tour to make an honest appraisal.

Just enjoy the moment FFS.

When was the last time a Sussex batsman scored a century for England

Why do people on here always have to take away the positives!

I have already posted that I am delighted with Prior three times. I was giving an honest appraisal of the situation!!

As soon as he lets some byes through, I will start a thread...

"Oh shit, not Prior"

It was an immense feeling when he hit those century runs. Hairs standing to attention! I can't even beging to imagine how he felt.

So proud to see a Sussex player back in the England fold. Next up, Yardy!

Tony Grieig in 1977 against India.

I believe that Pothas is not England-qualified yet, although will be next month. He might have missed his chance now.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Pothas is 33 as well, isn't he?

Typical Warne, shooting his mouth off. Time will tell how Prior does, but Warne's just trying to get his mate a run in the side.
