Saha and Laxmi Shukla have done well with the willow so far and they earned praise from Ganguly today.
Ganguly said the team management was thinking of adopting some new strategies against the Bangalore side. "I think if we lose and still continue to play the same way, the results will be the same. We have thought about some fresh ideas for tomorrow."
The visiting side, owned by liquor baron Vijay Mallya, are in the doldrums after the dismal show, and their CEO Charu Sharma 'stepped down' yesterday to make way for Brijesh Patel.
Coach Venkatesh Prasad also seems to have been put on notice with most of their players not being able to deliver in the high-pressure twenty20 format.
Skipper Rahul Dravid has been a notable exception amidst the ruins and scored a gritty 66 of 51 balls in the previous match against Kings XI Punjab.
The foreigners - Cameron White, Jacques Kallis and Dale Steyn - have also been unable to do justice to their reputation, and the team management would be pinning their hopes on a good performance from hard-hitting Misbah-ul-Haq who would play his second match of the tournament on the morrow.
Ganguly said that he was satisfied with the pitch, and did not think that the toss would be a factor. |
