KOLKATA, Feb 18 : Bengal, who face Assam in their second limited overs match of the Vizay Hazare Trophy at Eden Gardens tomorrow, thrashed Jharkhand yesterday but left their own coach, questioning their ability to bat out 50 overs.
Mr Chatterjee opted out of today's practice session but would have seriously to think why, even with Sourav Ganguly around, his own pupils had fallen far short of his own expectations.
Apparently well-set Bengal batsmen's failure to play big innings has already been noticed, resulting in the opening pair of Wriddhiman Saha and Abhishek Banerjee being advised to blend caution with aggression.
Also, Banerjee will have to guard against fiddling with the ball outside off stump. Consistency, though, has to mark their middle order's batting too.
Captain Laxmi Ratan Shukla's composed innings in the previous match of 82 runs, however, will encourage them. With Debabrata Das back in the squad, Bengal would hope to put up a good show.
Ranadeb Bose and Ashok Dinda will once again be relied on to stop from running riot an unenviably placed Assam, who have a competent swing bowler in D Goswami.
He took four wickets in his team's encounter with Tripura, who went on to win, though.
In the CAB Inter District Twenty Tournament at Siliguri Murshidabad Nawab clinched a seven-wicket victory over Jalpaiguri Rhinocers. In the other match today, Howrah beat South 24 Pargana Tiger by eight wickets.
