Sussex v Worcestershire the last hope

True, another reason why one would hope that Prior could forget about wicket keeping for England.

Back in play after lunch.
140-0
We better improve this session. Because the first 2 hours of play was just a shambles by Sussex

But would Prior would want to keep wicket for us and he is not the best keeper at Sussex.

Kent seem to have an traitor in their team, player called Northeast? not as if durham need the helping hand

Just a quiet guy.
that has got to be a matter of opinion Uncle buck but I believe that you watch a helluva lot more live susex cricket than most so I will go with your view. One point though you would think that Peter Moores being an ex-keeper would also have a valid opinion. If the guy cannot lay claim to be the best keeper for his county why would he be selected to represent his country?
Because of his destructive batting at county level which seems to have been more important to the selectors in recent times than glovesmanship, otherwise Read would have been in the side for years by now.
Hodd is the better keeper at Sussex but Prior is better with that bat, though Hodd is fast improving and might even challenge for the England gloves himself one day.

Well I do not think England have selected the best wicket keeper in the country, as that is generally agreed on being Chris Reed.
The problem is England are trying to replicate what Australia have with Gilchrist, a wicket keeper who can bat and take the game away from the opposition. The issue is we have nobody that is that good, so we end up with guys that can bat okish and keep okish, but when the batting fails, their keeping gets picked up on. This has happened with both Prior and Jones.
The keeper at Worcs is meant to be very good, so we shall see, but it might become less of an issue if Rashid continues his progress and Flintoff stays fit, as these 2 could come in at 6 and 7 for England, with the keeper coming in at 8 or even 9 if Broad's batting improves.

Good start, the bowling was not great this morning, Jones got belted around the ground in his first over. Lets hope Yardy and Nash can keep building a big score, so Adams finger can get better.
John Less about to start commentating. Never though I'd be egging on Slurry.

nice anecdote about the Worcester team photo... and nice confusion with the BBC H & W man chatting on his phone (Nokia ringtone) getting Leesy back for earlier on...
Throwing it down here. Unsurprisingly they are off the field, 6 miles away at the Rose Bowl.
