Jonathan Trott believes he has finished all he can to book a place in England"s side for the initial Test opposite Bangladesh from Friday but is not certain where he competence be asked to bat.
The 28-year-old put at the behind of him the beating of being edged out of the limited-overs side by a associate South African, Craig Kieswetter, to strike 101 prior to timid on day dual of the warm-up compare opposite Bangladesh A in Chittagong.
His efforts helped England to 281 for 7 spoken prior to James Tredwell struck twice in the hosts" 131 for three, a lead of 52.
It was a wilful matter from Trott on his initial hit since nearing in the country. "I"m flattering gratified with how it went," pronounced the Warwickshire batsman. "It was critical for me to stay certain and to have the most appropriate of my possibility when it came, that I feel as though I"ve done.
"It was a flattering great representation but it was formidable this sunrise – a bit overcast, utterly testing. Every possibility you get for England is a great event and one you need to take. I unequivocally feel I"ve since myself the most appropriate possibility going in to the Test.
"With a small some-more work in the nets, I think I can reach tip form for that match."
While his preference right away seems likely, his on all sides in the sequence is less obvious. Michael Carberry was selected as batting cover when Andrew Strauss opted out of the outing and, as a maladroit opener, is a like-for-like deputy for the lazy captain. But, with foe for places strong, Trott has emerged as a intensity first-timer at the tip of the order.
"I don"t know as well most about that [the expected batting order]," he said. "No one"s pronounced anything, we"ve usually unequivocally talked about this compare but, any opportunity, either it"s batting 3 or opening is good.
"Yesterday I came in in the second over so it"s a identical thing to opening. It"s one of those things you only have to regulate to."
Trott detonate on to the general stage with an Ashes-winning century on entrance but endured a partially gaunt time in the South Africa Test array prior to ceding his ODI place to Kieswetter.
Now the Cape Town-born player is anticipating to put those practice to great use. "I did well in the one-dayers in South Africa and it was unequivocally great to win that array but, unfortunately, we drew the Test array and I didn"t finish the approach I would have favourite to," Trott said.
"I feel I had a flattering great debate in review but it"s critical to keep mending as a player in what is an ever-improving England side. That"s the goal.
"I wish to be means to minister to a successful England side. Long tours are profitable experience, guidance how to perform for the full tour. That is something I"ll see behind on and make make use of of to my advantage, hopefully for a prolonged time, to assistance the side."
England resume in the margin tomorrow seeking for 7 discerning wickets and a medium follow if they are to secure feat opposite Mohammad Ashraful"s team.
Tredwell, meanwhile, who took his seventh and eighth wickets of the game, should get copiousness of bowling time to hang up a 10-wicket haul.
