Ex-Australian captain Allan Border scathing of Matt Renshaw retiring sick during first Test against India

 A clearly uncomfortable Matt Renshaw heads for the pavilion in Pune.


MATT Renshaw was lucky to make it to the dressing room toilet in time in Pune late on Thursday. But it would seem even luckier he doesn’t have Allan Border as captain.

The Australian opener was involved in one of the most bizarre moments in Test history as his classy debut innings on Indian soil was suddenly put on hold for a mad, desperate dash to the toilet, as illness struck him like a bolt of lightning.


Australia’s dream start on the first morning in Pune was thrown into chaos in a drama that could only happen in incredible India.

“It came pretty suddenly, probably about five or 10 minutes before Davey got out I asked Richard how long there was to lunch and he gave me the answer of half an hour,” said Renshaw.


“I was struggling a bit then so it wasn’t an ideal situation to be in.
“It was tough. I wasn’t too sure on the ruling, I didn’t know you could retire ill so I thought I’d just have to get out there and make sure I batted until lunch.

“I hope he’s lying on the table in there half dead,” said Border on Fox Sports. “Otherwise, as captain, I would not be happy.”

Amid all the chaos, Renshaw’s unprecedented exit might have been hard to fathom, but when he didn’t return after Shaun Marsh’s wicket fell post lunch, it became evident that this was no mere stomach rumbling.
