Ten first-class matches were played at the ground between 1953 and 1974, eight of them by Assam in the Ranji Trophy.
[2] Premangsu Chatterjee took 10 for 20 for Bengal in the first innings, which remain the best first-class figures ever taken outside England and Wales.
Sujit Mukherjee, who was in the Bihar squad in December 1954 but did not play in the match, described the ground: The cricket ground was a winsomely green oval surrounded by grass banks and large leafy trees.
Because of the trees, playing hours were set between nine-thirty and four-thirty, otherwise long shadows overcast the wicket.
Until nearly nine in the morning the ground would be shrouded in mist; then it suddenly dispersed and the arena was bathed in sunlight like the stage of an amphitheatre.
[12]Assam had previously played a Ranji Trophy match in Jorhat in 1949–50 on the Conamara Ground.
