Commentator, journalist once fielded for NZ after virus struck team
New Zealand fielded a record five substitutes, including a TV commentator, who was ex-captain Jeremy Coney, and a journalist, during the Bengaluru Test against India in 1988. Almost half of New Zealand's team was struck down by a stomach virus, which necessitated the substitutions. Coney was called out of his 18-month retirement to act as a substitute fielder.
