Prior or Dhoni...IN TESTS

[Serani]

So people, Prior and Dhoni are two excellent specimens of keepers but who do you think is better? Prior has played 33 tests averaging 41.5 with 3 hundreds and 14 50's [thats not counting this test with his 84*] Dhoni has played 41 tests and has a similar average to prior [41.9] with 4 hundreds and 18 50's Personally I would back prior, has a superior record if you consider he bats in more difficult conditions in England and is also consistent under pressure.

[Lord]

Prior.doesnt mean Dhoni cant bat though:--D

[Serani]

Another thing thats important..Who is the better KEEPER. Its all good being able to bat but if you drop the ball then your hindering your side, personally I think both have improved a lot since there debuts and are now very solid behind the stumps.

Prior is a joke of a wk in subcontinental conditions, MSD is more of a complete cricketer, with his role as a captain. So, its MSD by some distance.

[Zelig]

Mahi :csk:

[saneindian]

Serani, do you like Prior becase he has scored almost halg his career runs against the mighty West Indies?

[Serani]

Prior is a better keeper now, after the WI tour he was gonna get replaced because his keeping was terrible, now its solid.

[ZodiaC]

Only as a batsman, I'd say Prior, overall, Dhoni.

[Fontaine]

When healthy I would take Dhoni. Now that Dhoni is playing injured, I would take Prior.

those are not important innings,:finger:

[Andy]

those are not important innings' date=':finger:[/quote'] Then what is? :dontknow:

[The Outsider]

Prior is a clown with the gloves, in the league of Akmal. So as a wicketkeeper-batsman, the choice is clearly Dhoni. As a pure batsman, Prior comes out on top in tests.

[Sir john]

only 76 against england:haha:

[Serani]

Looks like people havent watched prior keep since the tour of india :giggle:

[Serani]

Then what is? :dontknow:

Some of them arent, like the 50 at Ahmedabad vs SA, he failed in the first innings when the pressure was on, scoring 50 in a lost cause is no great feat.

[Sir john]

Looks like people havent watched prior keep since the tour of india :giggle:

iam his fan,watches his each innings. he bats very well against lankans in lanka.:--D

[Andy]

Some of them arent' date=' like the 50 at Ahmedabad vs SA, [b']he failed in the first innings when the pressure was on, scoring 50 in a lost cause is no great feat.

Pressure was more in the 2nd Innings. Prior has failed many times when the pressure was on. And as i said Prior score most of his Runs at home and against fewer oppositions.
