Let’s set the scene.
You’re a young up-and-coming cricketer, riding some white hot form. You’ve been granted the honour of donning the Baggy Green for a test series, your first on Indian soil. You take to the crease with living legend David Warner, and you put in a good knock – until you just about shit your pants.
WHAT DO.
20-year-old Australian opener Matt Renshaw had an answer this afternoon, and it involved waiting until Warner’s dismissal before absolutely legging it back to the pavilion. Renshaw retired ill, only 15 minutes before lunch, in order to relieve himself of some significant gastro-intestinal strife.

After his run off the field left commentator Michael Clarke absolutely baffled, another former Australian captain gave his take on Renshaw’s unorthodox manoeuvre.
“Otherwise, as captain, I would not be happy.”
