Nah. Prior may have batted well, mostly against unchallenging seam-bowling, but throwing him up to three for the most crucial Test series of them all to face the likes of Clark and Johnson would be crazy.Number 3 issue you say?
1 Andrew Strauss
2 Alastair Cook
3 Matthew Prior
4 Kevin Peitersen
5 Paul Collingwood
6 Andrew Flintoff
7 James Foster
8 Stuart Broad
9 Graeme Swann
10 Ryan Sidebottom
11 James Anderson
BTW Flintoff at six is just such a nono. I'd have Foster ahead of him if they were both in the same side, and that's the Honest To Goodness truth.
