Victory will be a secondary issue on Dav Whatmore's mind. The Bangladesh coach will be more concerned at his team's inability to occupy the crease for full fifty overs after what happened in Chittagong last Friday, where his boys capitulated after a decent start in the first one-dayer.

The fall of six wickets in that match was so shocking that it still haunts the 49-year-old.

"We will have to try and prevent similar things happening again. Our target must be to bat fifty overs and not lose wickets like that again. We will have to show all-round improvement if we are to stay in the series," said Whatmore before the squad's final training at the BNS.

When asked if he had found the reason behind six wickets falling so cheaply Whatmore said that maybe the team was still feeling the effects of the huge loss in the second Test that they lost by 329 runs.

"The loss in the second Test may have been a contributing factor. But one thing is for sure we can't repeat that again," he said. He also admitted that after that defeat confidence was at a low.

However the Sri Lankan-born Australian wanted his team to forget about what had happened in Chittagong and concentrate on the game ahead.

He also observed that his boys played better cricket a month before. And he wants to see them like they were before.

"Form can change and they just need to reverse it now," he said.

Whatmore said that he had talked a lot with the players after that defeat in Chittagong.

"The players also spoke about what happened. And I am sure that they are very keen not to repeat those mistakes again."

About injured Mohammad Rafique, Whatmore said he was confident that the experienced left-arm spinner would return to action.

"We will do a little bit of work with him this evening. If he is fully fit then no problem," said Whatmore adding that he won't mind playing with two left-arm spinners since England's one-day side is predominately made up of right-handed batsmen.

Whatmore also hinted that there might be another change in the batting order. He might consider Moniruzzaman for today's match. But he did not mention in that case who would get the chop.

"We will decide that tomorrow," he said.

Captain Khaled Mahmud was equally concerned about the batting failures. But he termed the Chittagong debacle accidental than anything else.

"Nobody tries to throw his wicket. We all agree that these sorts of performances are unacceptable. But we are working hard to eliminate the flaws and hopefully we put up a better show tomorrow," said Mahmud.
