Its difficult to tell tbh mate, but personally I dont think Prior will make the test squad, but as thats announced on sunday which is before the next championship round its a moot point. I've seen him play & personally I think hes a batsman/wktkpr rather than the other way around, but as you say keeping to Mushtaq is an eye opener.
I havent seen Saqlain start a game yet so there might be something I'm missing but I've looked hard & not found anything.
Personally I think Read has been hard done by to an extent but if I was guessing I'd go Nixon :wasntme
Good point regarding Sussex missing Priors batting mind you, as the whole point is that the batting has to improve
