I've got a cricket book by Michael Parkinson, in which he tells several Trueman stories that Fred denied, so he asked Fred to tell him a strange one that was true.
According to Fred, he was invited to India for their 50th Jubilee celebrations and as part of those Fred was travelling by train miles from anywhere across India, when they stopped at a tiny station and Fred needed to use the toilet. The stationmaster was delighted at this request and insisted on escorting Fred into the station buildings into a small room where, where he drew back a curtain to unveil a Victorian chamber pot with F.S. Trueman written on the side.
Parkinson raises all the obvious questions about how the stationmaster ever got the idea that Fred would ever arrive at his station and need to use toilets.....but, apparently Fred swore it was true.
This seems to be an extremely long winded story about an English pace bowler having a piss in India.

@mariner4life reminds me of Paul Adams. How you bowl with your head facing the wrong way I have no idea

@Donsteppa terrible pitch.
Last night they were showing close ups of the ball at about 50 overs old. Never mind the Aussies and their sandpaper, it looked as though someone had a go at it with the wire brush. The seam was pretty much worn down to nothing.
Can’t see this being anything other than a draw.

Pant batting the house down. Seeing them like beach balls.

Interesting period of the Poms v India game
England with a good lead but want to force the pace before declaring late on day 4
India probably have everyone a little spooked with their chasing ability. England will probably be extra cautious on the declaration

Indians open with 2 spinners, Ashwin getting Burns first ball of the innings, and putting him on a hattrick which he doesn't get.
Test cricket with all sorts of novelty
Poms 258 ahead with 9 second innings wickets intact. 150 odd overs left in the match
Yeah the Windies opened with that big tall fat spinner too.
What the fuck has the game become ?!?!?

Yeah I hear all that but there's just something about a couple of pace bowlers opening up and getting hostile.

Reckon they should have enforced (/broken record). VVS happened once. And there would not have been enough time to lose.
Pretty hot in Chennai, and haven't you noticed, poor widdle bowlers need a rest. And the pitch was exploding dust on day 1.
Poms have come over very well prepared and no crowd is a leveller - reckon the indian "home" crowd was a factor in oz
England 71 for 4, lead of 312, with the Kane impersonator still in
