Indeed. Fairly impressive bowling this over, albeit raw. And a no-ball "wicket" as I type...

That's two lives for Prior, no doubt the halfwit commentators will forget this if he flukes a lucky 50/100 and say how he's proved his doubters wrong and all this sort of crap.
Mustard is a miles better option.
And the moron gets out two balls later anyway. Rubbish.

About as high as you can get the ball. Good catch by Dravid.

If Cricinfo are to be believed, it was a pointlessly stupid attempt at a shot by Prior, although he was never going to last long anyway. Cook's another matter, and now we're struggling.

What in the hell kind of drop is that?

Prior's in the side for what he did, really - to keep tidily get a quick 30 or 40 opening to get England on the front foot, for the likes of Bell, Cook and Collingwood to consolidate as Pietersen and Flintoff keep the tempo up. 33 off 28, 3 catches, no drops and no byes - he did his job this game. Whether his job should exist is another debate.

If only it were like that with his England one-day career. Averages low 20s at a Bell-esque strike rate and isn't much cop with the gloves either obviously.
It's like Geraint's ODI opening stint all over again, someone who's only capable of cameos even on a good day and just hits shots randomly. You may as roll some dice to work out where the ball will go.

Why is Munaf throwing underarm?

Yeah, he's surprised me. I was always under the impression that he was completely dire and offered absolutley nothing other than another case to present to people who whinge when I take performances against 'Desh out of stats when I compare two palyers. However, he's been very good and he looks quite a polished and professional bowler for someone so young. The one positive to come from Munaf's injury/decline/whatever it's actually classifed as.
