On a day that a big crowd gathered in Indore to watch Virender Sehwag, Virat Kohli and Yuvraj Singh, two of the most valuable players in Indian domestic cricket starred

Commentator: Siddarth Ravindran

AJ: "thre was a discussion regarding all-rounders during innings of India Blue....how about nehra as an all rounder...seeing his batting in this innings, does he qualify as one :P"

Raghav Reddy: "So , Like Misbah , Even Nehra's finishing acts came in a losing cause. Few players are born unfortunate."

Rajagopalan R: "Having thanked Nehra for the entertainment today, someone also need to remind him that his batting will not fetch him a place in the Indian Team. Figures like 10-0-59-0 in a List A match is not at all acceptable." Boo!

Perumal: "Don't forget, Ashish Nehra the 10th man hit boundary to seal the match against NZ in 2003 series." that too after India collapsed spectacularly following Sehwag's century.

Rohan: "I think it is time the title of "SIR" be conferred upon Ashish Nehra now! #SorrySirJadeja :)"

That's a wrap from our ball-by-ball commentary, thanks all for the company today. See you all tomorrow morning. Ta ta.

Vinay Kumar to Awana, OUT, length ball and that crashes into off stump, India Blue have won but they couldn't get Nehra out, they had to get everyone else out. Awana went for a big shot but he missed, great fight from the Delhi lower order
