Prior needs to be given an extended run in the side, to show what he's capable of, it's too early to change yet again. This side needs time to 'gel' together and that isn't going to happen if we keep chopping and changing players every 5 minutes.

I don't have a problem with Prior, he fits the right 'profile' for an International Keeper, lets see if he's good enough to step up to the plat and deliver, if he isn't, he needs to be changed, but not yet.

Moores is the one I have the biggest problem with, his results so far are lame and in no way vindicates or justifies the ousting of Fletcher who was simply one of the best coaches this country has ever had.

The 'scapegoating' of him for the 'Ashes' debacle was atrocious, anyone with half a brain cell knew England were going to get thrashed in that series - regardless of player selections, so we change him for this clown Moores whos done absolutely nothing since he took over. Moores' tenure will be as short as Maclarens unless he starts producing some results and fast.

Moores is the one we should be looking at, not Prior, because I'd rather get rid of him sooner rather than later if it looks like he's not up to it and that's certainly the way it looks at the moment.

In any case, England need to sort their bowlers out before they start worrying about the keeper again and I don't see anyone replacing Prior while Moores is in charge either.
