Is Tim Paine most uninspiring captain Ever??

[Drag Queen]

Has he mentioned who his alternative to Paine might be? It’s hard to know with all the “he sucks” cricket comments.

Not sure why this comment is on repeat.. Apologies.

I'm guessing he wants Warner now that Smith is out. It fits his modus operandi. Who the hell would know Jimmy. He does call Warner, Davey, which is quite endearing..

Oh yeah... that’s right! He went on some rant about how unfair CA’s penalty was and that the ICC should’ve been the one to issue the sanctions (despite that body repeatedly demonstrating how toothless it’s been for a prolonged period of time).

Still, I wonder who he wants as captain out of those available for selection?

Probably Finch.

I can’t believe this bloke is Australian cricket captain!! No inspiration, no captaincy smarts, talks like a schoolboy and has no muscle as a captain! Total waste of space!!

Virat Kohli on the other hand ..

He's hardly a dead man walking. He is clearly an interim captain as he is at the very back end of his career with probably only 1 year left before he retires from test match cricket. He is 35 years old this year.
He was asked to step up in the most difficult time in our cricket history amd under the circumstances has done a very good job.
I'm not sure why you want to jump down Tim Paines throat, maybe you should direct your anger at the disappointment of losses towards the guys that cheated and left us with the weakest batting lineup ever.
If they hadn't cheated they wouldn't have been banned and we would have been stronger this summer.
But nah, blame Tim Paine, hes the one who deserves to be criticized......

1. It wasn’t Warne (apparently)
2. It was “can’t bowl, can’t throw”
3. What’s ‘bat bat’?

Looking at the batting averages below, Paine was the fifth highest batting average and given he is batting 7 and wicket keeping, I think he is leading a team that is less than capable with the bat. Hard to win test matches with these batting averages.

Also, we lost the toss in Melbourne and Sydney and where forced to field first. Big advantages batting first on these pitches that start to spin on day 3 and 4 . They resemble pitches in India - why did we produce pitches that help our opponents?

Jesus, just let this thread die would you.
Not many care about Paine's team or Paine.
It's not worth discussing
Paine and co are useless
Their stats prove it
RIP Australian Cricket

Methinks a “bat bat” is something blokes do when home alone with the lights dimmed low.

I could be wrong though.

Correct required: it’s actually Geoff Marsh’s for having unprotected sex resulting in sons, Mitch and Shaun.

They’re the REAL scapegoats, y’know?

Precisely. What happened to first day life? Without that, the balance is tipped too far towards the team batting first. The answer of course is drop in pitches, made necessary by playing AFL in the winter on cricket grounds.

Marsh boys make it very easy though don't they???

Shaun batted well on Saturday (or so I thought). It’s a pity he hasn’t (except on one occasion) been able to capitalise on several good starts this summer.

As for Mitch, he’s had the shits.

Shaun batting very well today mate!
Excellent inns.

Marsh's last two ODI should give him some confidence back. He was good today.
