Ten South Africa A players hospitalised with food poisoning

The South Africa A squad currently touring in Chennai has been ravaged by food poisoning with 10 players hospitalised before, during and after their one-day clash against India A today.

At one point during the match, South Africa A were forced to use their video analyst Henrikus Coertzen in the field, as well as India A’s Mandeep Singh.

This is the one time where having a case of the runs was a bad thing  Be curious to find out what they were eating.

Madras curry is frightening .... ;D

oh geeeeeeeeeeedee! :'( :'( :'(

if it was you ketchim  yo would turn dat gastro into creepers..poison everybody by air. unfortunate you not there to show dem how ::LOL:: ::LOL:: ::LOL:: ::LOL:: ::LOL::

teams will have to walk with their own chiefs now, with money buy fresh groceries every day to prepare....

or the team cud walk with prepared rations like soldiers

dhall?

I recall going to a team mates wedding here in Toronto : and we eat and drink .

Next day was our semi final : we all end up in the Toilets at the Ground !

It was the Garam Masala from Chennai (formerly Madras)  that the wedding Curry was cooked with !!  ::LOL::

Perhaps not surprisingly, this not the first time teams have struggled with food poisoning during a tour of India. A dodgy prawn curry did Graham Gooch in during England's tour of India in 1993, while Richard Hadlee and others were also felled by food poisoning during their tour of India in 1988 that resulted in former New Zealand captain, Jeremy Coney, coming out of his 18-month retirement along with his fellow journalist, Ken Nicholson, to act as substitute fielders.

Gooch talking about the incident:

Quote:On previous tours to India I had experienced the usual odd bad bouts of illness 24 hours feeling rough and shut up in the toilet or being sick to clear your stomach, but this was something else all together, and it was to hang around. In fact, I don't think I ever really shook it off throughout the trip. Not that that can be an excuse for my cricket or indeed the cricket of the England team.

The joke from journalist Martin Johnson of The Independent was that once Mike Gatting came down to join us, the number of dishes increased so rapidly that when the hotel management came to try and identify the guilty dish 'they could only narrow it down to one of the twenty-eight that Gatt had ordered'.

So I handed over to Alec Stewart, and retired to my bed. The TV was showing the cricket in my room but I was just fading in and out of a dreamy sort of sleep. Mercifully, it was just food poisoning and it cleared up within seventy-two hours, by which time, unfortunately, we were well on the way to losing by an innings.

so whats the solution Dilly ::confused::

I say teams walk with their own chiefs and kitchen staff.  or walk with rations.

curry and spices at the best of time threatens thin bellies..although I wud not have expected dat from Saffies..is africa deh from..born and bred.

deh mus' live sheltered in Africa : : :

Given the age we live in, with a stricter regiment on diet and fitness across all sports, I am surprised more teams don't employ their own chefs, especially when on tour. I believe that Australia employ their own chef, Govardhan Govindaraj, for home matches, though don't think he accompanies them when they are on tour.

England did provide an 82-page list of catering demands for their last tour of Australia but still required the food to actually be catered by chefs in Australia.
