Matt Prior's Desert Island Discs

 
A surprisingly varied and eclectic collection from England's window smashing wicketkeeper.

1. Nick Lowe – 'I Love The Sound of Breaking Glass': even if Andrew Strauss doesn’t…
2. The Police – 'King Of Pane': Prior’s inimitable take on Sting and co’s ‘classic’
3. The Smiths – 'Hand In Glove': Even if on this occasion it was hand throwing glove, hitting bat etc
4. White Lies - 'Unfinished Business': Two for the price of one. Prior and the ECB obviously like their tall stories and the wicketkeeper still has a score to settle with Ian Bell
5. Prince – 'Batdance': Those bat handles have a mind of their own…
6. Madness – 'Embarrassment': No explanation necessary
7. Anything by Tinah Temper or The Temper Trap
8. Ned’s Atomic Dustbin – 'Tantrum': Prior likes his Grebo music angry
9. Arctic Monkeys – 'Riot Van': On another day Prior could have ended up in one
10. Meatloaf – 'Bat Out Of Hell': It must have been to have jumped 10 feet to smash the window after being gently rested against the ledge

...and for an encore, Prior went for 'Jellybean' from the obscure Happy Mondays album 'Uncle Dysfunktional'. We cannot think why...
