That's it then. The last first-class match of the Indian domestic season. Not much to take home from here. Dispiriting is the word. Thanks for sitting through it, though. Cheers
Presentation
"We have done well with this side," says Abhishek Nayar. "This was just a one-off game where we didn't deliver the goods. A lot of youngsters have come in and put their hand up. We can take a lot of positives from this season. Adity tare. Hiken Shah. Shardul and Javed Shah. KP as well. I am happy with the way I have gone, I am happy I have been of use to the team."
"Definitely very happy," says Harbhajan Singh. "Relieved at getting selected. This was a big match. I bowled really well. And got the opportunity to pay against Australia, my favourite team. Looking at this wicket, pretty flat... [we didn't declare]. We are too small to talk about Tendulkar. Good to see hims core the runs, hopefully he will do the same against Australia"
Suresh Raina is the Man of the Match, but we don't get to hear from it
3.23 The umpires have told ROI the over-rate has now been corrected. Everything has been brushed under the carpet. Nothing to report from this match. Everybody is happy. Handshakes all around. Rest of India have won the Irani Cup, which we have known since last morning because neither side has tried to disturb that state of affairs since then. Wait for the presentation
