... or England.

Feels like a while since Prior got a ton for his county.

4 years. The last time he scored one for us was in Division 2.... in that time he has scored probably 10 ducks....... often when he bats for us he cant be arsed and just hits out at things, very rarely does it involve him batting sensibly.

He did also score something like 99* vs Hampshire, but their pathetic target left him stranded by memory

0% chance of rain.... F*** YOU GOOGLE!!!!

Glorious day that one...

Prior gone to Finn for 125

Finn has 4-57, Sussex lead by 148.

163 in front, get this past 200 before the tea break and get them batting!

[Durhamfootman]

congratulations to Messrs Marsden and Weller

they managed to pick up the scalp of the day for only 8 runs

6fer for Finny and a ton for Prior. both players will have taken a couple of the big decisions away from the new gaffer

Prior was dropped 3 times during his knock..

Said already earlier cf, prior went out with a mission to score quickly as they lost whole day. Got lucky but in order to win or be in a position to win after day 1, he had to Olay shots....


Shame Sam Robson got.blasted twice by the Aussie oap! 9 to go for the marlets

[Arthur Crabtree]

Looks like KP was right to advise Prior to go down to the nets at Sussex, and now this is paying off. After Pietersen led the way on burn out and Moores' coaching, seems he has pointed an esteemed colleague on the way back to form.

Great to see Prior regain some form. England will be a stronger team with him in the team. The prospect of either Bairstow or Buttler keeping in Tests is slightly scary, at this stage. Wouldn't be against Davies playing but Prior just needs to not screw up and he'll be back.

Finn was a tad expensive but took wickets and didn't go for any extras. He still needs to do more to get back in the team, but this was an encouraging return. It will probably help him that ODIs will proceed the Tests - he can come in for the injured Broad and show that he is ready for the international game again.
