Full commentary

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.
