AUSTRALIAN CRICKETERS STRUCK DOWN WITH ILLNESS IN INDIA
DEAN JONES - Chennai (1986): The Victorian was labelled "weak" by his captain Allan Border for wanting to stop batting during the famous tied Test. Jones was urinating involuntarily and vomiting pitchside in extreme heat, but scored 210 before being put on a saline drip.
MARK WAUGH - Bangalore (1998): Struggling to get out of bed due to a bout of gastro, he batted for more than six hours to score a stunning 153 not out to help Australia avoid a 3-0 series whitewash in the third Test.
MICHAEL CLARKE - Bangalore (2007): The former captain was up the night before a one-day international with vomiting and diarrhoea before posting a century.
BRETT LEE - Nagpur (2008): Despite being passed fit to play in the fourth Test after falling ill two days before, the paceman spent plenty of time off the ground in India's first innings and could contribute only 16 overs.
DAVID WARNER - Chennai (2013): Shane Watson was forced to open the batting after gastro prevented Warner taking his place at the top of the order. Warner recovered to come in at No.3, posting 23 runs.
JAMES FAULKNER - Mohali (2016): The gastro-struck all-rounder was limited to walking a few laps at training a day before Australia's World T20 win over Pakistan. But he recovered quickly to take 5-27, the best bowling figures by an Australian in T20 internationals.
MATT RENSHAW - Pune (2017): In his first Test innings on Indian soil, the lanky opener caused confusion when he jogged off the field before retiring ill. Returned later in the day to scored an impressive half-century.
