    Never really thought he was International Class,
    but seems to have his head together,and looks
    the part of a good all rounder at last.

    I thought his performances with bat and ball
    was the one plus we can take from this tournament.

    My only concern is,where we find a spot for him.

    With the Test team almost picking itself (opener only doubt)
    I feel he will have to make do with cameo performances
    in 20/20 and ODI's.

    Any thoughts guys (or gals) <cheers>

    For me, he is probably worth it for the one day games from now on. His bowling is very accurate and economical but it is a mystery to me how he picks up so many wickets!

    He should be first name on the team sheet for ODI and T20 for the foreseeable.

    He was class in this tournament. Really helps the balance of the side in T20s and ODIs. He needs to bat ahead of Buttler also.

    Buttler needs to go, one good innings in ten is not enough, Prior for 'keeper.

    Prior is a great keeper and scores at a decent rate...... No idea why he isn't keeping for you in all forms of cricket.
