A skilled wicketkeeper standing back, pugnacious batsman in the traditional keeping spot of No. 7 and a stout upholder of the team ethic, Matt Prior was a crucial cog in the machine that led England up the Test rankings. He cut a similar figure to Alec Stewart with his no-nonsense positivity, even if he did not quite possess the same fastidious attention towards his appearance.
