Wicket keeper Matt Prior hopes to open at Lahore
Reserve wicket keeper Matt Prior is hoping that he will be able to open
the innings for England in the first of five one-dayers against
Pakistan in Lahore on Saturday.
Matt Prior made an impressive 72 at the top of the order in the tourists' warm-up defeat by Pakistan A on Wednesday.
23-year-old Sussex star Matt Prior said: "I'll be happy playing in any
position for England but if I was opening the batting I would
absolutely love it.
"That's where I enjoy playing the most, especially in one-day cricket."
Matt Prior regularly opens for his county in limited-overs games and
says it is the best position to build a big score from - once any early
seam and swing movement has been negotiated.
"I feel I play my most natural game there," Matt Prior explained. "The
new ball does a bit but if you can get through that bit it's OK.
"At the beginning there is an opportunity to attack and when you get through that stage you try and accumulate your runs."
