    "editor1": "<p><strong>New Delhi, May 4: <\/strong>Former India pacer Ashish Nehra went down the memory lane with ex-teammate Aakash Chropra during a chat on Chopra&#39;s show Aakashvani.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Nehra said how he had only one pair of shoes which he used for Ranji Trophy games as well as his Test debut against Sri Lanka in Colombo in 1999.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I wore them for the first time in Ranji Trophy and had only one pair which I took them with me to play in my first Test match in 1999. I still remember I used to get the shoe stitched after each innings and that is how it survived the entire Test,&quot; Nehra said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Talking about practicing bowling action at the Delhi Cantonment Railway station with the club&#39;s bowling coach, Nehra said: &quot;I wasn&#39;t alone. There used to be a bunch of us who would go to drop sir at the railway station. He would ask us to show him different bowling actions. I remember we would pick up the stones at the station and bowl with them.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The pair also discussed a game they had played at the Race Course ground in Delhi for their club team.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;You remember we had to bowl into the wind and against the wind? The coach asked me why I didn&#39;t bowl you from that end. I told him that you wanted to bowl from the other end,&quot; said Chopra as the two had a good laugh going down memory lane.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Left-arm pacer Nehra played 17 Tests, 120 ODIs and 27 T20Is for India.<\/p>\r\n",
