Cricket: Prior urges England to dominate

England wicketkeeper Matt Prior believes that his side have the ability to dominate in the next two Ashes series against Australia.

The hosts are 2/9 with bet365 to retain the Ashes in the summer home series, with England and Australia then locking horns Down Under a matter of months later. Prior told BBC Sport: "If we prepare and perform as we want to, there's no reason why we shouldn't dominate Australia in these two Ashes series. "You look at our dressing room and the skills we have in our team - batters, bowlers, the spin department, it's all there. "But Ashes series are strange - there is no such thing as a weak Australian Test side and we will have to be on our game to do it." England have won the last two Ashes series and three of the last four, although they suffered a humiliating 5-0 whitewash in the 2006-07 series in Australia.
