http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Prior-c1984 seeks an improbable English win at Headingley – Cricket News Roundup – August 6, 2012 – Part 2
England’s wicketkeeper batsman Matt Prior on Sunday claimed that his side can still turn the tables on South Africa and win the second Investec Test at Leeds, Headingley.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757 will resume their second innings on Monday with a 33-run lead, and all ten wickets intact. Though it would be a kind of mission impossible for the English bowlers to claim ten South African wickets in one day, wicketkeeper batsman Matt Prior
has not given up hope and is still optimistic about his side’s chances in the ongoing second Test, at Leeds, Headingley.
"There are probably only now two results, a draw or an England win, and for them to know they have to bat out a day can sometimes be quite tough," said Prior who played crucial role in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013’s six run lead in the first innings.

England’s wicketkeeper batsman Matt Prior on Sunday expressed his utter desire to retain http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KP-Pietersen-c1806 in the team.
“Kev’ll do what he wants to do and it is up to him, but when you watch a bloke bat like that, you want him in your team,” said Prior. “Of course you want to hold on to him. Of course you want him in your dressing room,” he added further.
Kevin Pietersen, who struck a dazzling 149 against South Africa in the ongoing second Test, retired from limited overs international cricket in May this year.
