Prior batted two-and-a-half hours in England's second innings and faced 64 balls from Muralitharan and as a result, he has become the resident expert on Muthiah Muralitharan.
"You have to be so watchful against Murali," said Prior. "I tried to have a
lot of energy in my footwork. If you go forward, be positive and if you go back,
be positive. Where you get stuck is if indecision creeps in and you don't really
go back or forward, hang your bat out and bring the close fielders into play.
Although you're looking to keep out the good balls, the other important thing is
that if you do get a bad ball you must put it away. You don't want to get into a
position of blocking half-volleys."
What rot! If only it was this simple. If these dumb asses still persist in reading him off the pitch, they are always in danger.
Wish someone would shut him up.
