And once again coach Dav Whatmore was keen to work on the batting department after the 2-0 whitewash in the Test series, where apart from a benchmark 158 not out by Ashraful and some inspiring bowling from Mashrafee-Bin-Mortuza it was the same old story from the rest of the team.

The 50-year-old Australian, as he has always been doing, tried to stay position after two innings defeats inside four days.

"A one-day match is surely a different ball game and you can't compare it to a Test. In Tests you've got to get enough time to put things right but in ODIs every decision must be one-touch and requires instant precision," Whatmore told reporters after an intensive training session at the venue.

The Tigers spent three-and-a-half hours at the MA Aziz Stadium mostly devoting their time to batting.

Bangladesh skipper Habibul Bashar put in an extra effort in the nets with Mohammad Ashraful and left-arm spinner Manzaraul Islam volunteering with the ball even after training ended.

All-rounder Khaled Mahmud also had a busy day after being recalled to the 14-member one-day squad.

Wily left-arm spinner Moha-mmad Rafique however focused on his batting than turning his arm.

Ashraful was the centre of attraction for fans after his heroic knock in the first innings of the second Test that took him past Aminul Islam (145) as the country's highest individual Test scorer. Also considered the cheerleader of the team, the 20-year-old enjoyed some fun and games.

While recalling Ashraful's magnificent innings Whatmore said it could serve as a source of inspiration for the rest of the team ahead of the first of the three-match one-day series.

He also said that the playing eleven would be announced after the final training session today.

When Bangladesh had a serious training, the Indians preferred to relax at the team's hotel.

Indian coach John Wright opted to give his star players some rest and instead put the six new replacements through their paces in a two-hour drill. Opener Virender Sehwag understandably attended training after two disappointing innings in Dhaka and Chittagong.

Meanwhile, six Indian cricketers arrived in Dhaka on Monday night and joined the team in Chittagong. They are Yuvraj Singh, Ajit Agarkar, Dinesh Mongia, Sridharan Sriram, Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Joginder Singh.

They will replace Anil Kumble, VVS Laxman, Gautam Gambhir, Dinesh Karthik, Gagandeep Singh and Shib Shankar Pal.

Laxman and Gagandeep left Dhaka yesterday while the other four Indian cricketers departed on Monday.
