"Hang the DJ" was one of Morrisseys some-more blunt lines during his Smiths heyday and one 4,000 Bangladeshi cricket supporters probably concluded with yesterday, after Matt Prior was reprieved since the internal front manoeuvre in Fatullah unsuccessful to still the song prior to he played his shot.

Prior had 52 at the time and usually unequivocally beheld the umpires call of "dead ball" after hed hoiked it down long-ons throat whilst the Bangla cocktail of "Pretty Girls Dancing" blared from the loudspeakers. Not that Priors wicket would have changed the outcome of a compare England, batting second, looked to have won from the impulse their bowlers limited the Bangladesh Cricket Board XI to 151-8 off 37 overs.

Unlike in Tuesdays diversion here Prior ceded the wicket-keeping gloves to Craig Kieswetter, so he indispensable to have a small runs usually to keep his name in the brew for Sundays opening one-day international. Coming in at array three, following Kevin Pietersens sore exclusion for six, he began cautiously, as if feeling the hot, unrelenting breath of girl on his neck.

Once hed staid he played a small appreciative shots, generally opposite Mahmudul Hasans off-spin, that he twice struck for unbroken boundaries. Yet, it is his batting, rather than is wicket-keeping, that is giving England means for concern, something Andy Flower, Englands group director, reliable in the post-match press conference.

"Today was an event for Matt to get up front and outlay a small time in the middle," Flower pronounced yesterday. "Batting at 6 or 7 is a dilettante area and he"s shown glimpses of good skill.

"It"s not easy to bat in that area and put in performances that have a difference. It"s a wily area to bat. I can"t discuss it you if ruin keep wicket on Sunday since that would be revelation you the side. He"s in the patrol as a wicket-keeper batsman so it is an option."

As a batsman, Prior is of course assertive and can strike the round hard. But similar to so most batsmen of that ilk, and Andrew Flintoff is an additional example, they miss the capability to work the round around for 4 and five runs an over but receiving risks as Graham Thorpe and Neil Fairbrother once did. In short, they strike the round in viewable ways and that allows opponents to set up vigour on them by sourroundings run-saving fields.

With the World Twenty20 set for this May and with England wanting to name their squad, the need to consider Kieswetters keeping (they will usually take one screw to the tournament) is pressing.

"We don"t know about preference for the World T20," pronounced Flower. "But if we"re to go with Craig, if he had a good array opposite Bangladesh, currently was a peaceful key for him in a low vigour environment.

"It was an event to see at him with at the back of the stumps as I don"t know most about his cricket. Also it was an event for him to get used to the side and the side to get used to him with the gloves on."

With Stuart Broad rested, Englands bowling conflict was fronted by 4 Yorkshiremen - Ryan Sidebottom, Tim Bresnan, Liam Plunkett and Ajmal Shahzad, though usually dual are expected to fool around on Sunday.

They contend that when Yorkshire are clever England are clever (OK Sidebottom plays for Notts and Plunkett for Durham), and all 4 bowled well on a representation charity small transformation notwithstanding the monster overnight storms that marked down the diversion to 37-overs-a-side.

As so often, Sidebottoms efforts were not but the peculiar tizzy, after he was denied dual wickets in his opening dual overs; the initial of them when the referee unsuccessful to give left-hander, Shahriar Nafees, out held at the back of to the opening round of the day; the second when James Tredwell put down a sitter off him at second slip. Red-faced with bid at the most appropriate of times, you could have fully cooked a kettle on Sidebottoms head.

Tredwell after done up for the relapse with a catch and a neat spell of 2-17 with his off-breaks. If the representation for Sundays compare looks similar to it will grip, he could nonetheless stick on Graeme Swann as the second spinner.
