When Prior nearly gave up wicketkeeping

In an extract from Matt Prior's autobiography in the Telegraph, the England wicketkeeper talks about the time he was dropped from the Test side and being informed of it while he was holidaying in New York; Jellygate; smashing the window at Lord's; the controversy of Stanford posing with the players' wives and the painful yet rewarding journey of his wicketkeeping.

I was staring at big broken window, with pretty much everyone in the ground looking at me because it had made such a noise. It didn't look good, obviously: run out, then a smashed window, but the problem was that people were putting two and two together and coming up with five. The first thing I saw was a replay on the dressing-room TV of Straussy getting up from his seat on the balcony, looking across to see the damage and then shaking his head like a disappointed headmaster.
