Mystery surrounded the fitness of Boyd Rankin following the first day's play in Sydney after the fast bowler was twice forced from the pitch on his first day as a Test cricketer.

Very, very strange one this. Cramping up after eight overs on the first day of the match in temperatures in the mid twenties would show a remarkable lack of fitness. Looked very much like a hamstring strain. English medical team trying to cover themselves after sending him out to bowl again only to see him break down after one ball?

Dehydration leads to cramping
Was he liquored up?
