Is Tim Paine most uninspiring captain Ever??

Ahh.. good old indianexpress.com..

Probably up there in my top 3 most visited internet sites along with leagueumlimited and www.badgerbadgerbadger.com

I was a little worried clicking the link, now I'm just confused.

Out of the 3 banned players only Smirh would be considered a certain chance to rejoin the team. But he wont be captain again (at least on field).
Bancroft is a chance based on form. His ban has ended. Dont we need a good opener atm!
Warner is no chance of rejoining the test team. Some leniency may be given to playing in the shorter forms of the game particularly 20/20.

As for Paine, he is doung the job required of him. He will be captain for at least a couple of years to come, as there is simply no-one else.

About as inspiring as Widdop. Just a lack of alternates.

Give it to the GOAT maybe.

At the peak of his career form and then burden him with the captaincy ? Don't think so.

It’s 325pm Saturday
And our Aussie B grade cricket team have covered themselves in glory once again
Next thing they will be known as Muzbys men......

I hate supporters that support the players when doing well then destroy them when they are not. Why not get behind some of these blokes like Paine? Calling them shit? Hopeless?
Ouryears is one of those blokes that can't handle losing so to deal with the frustration goes on the internet and criticises everyone responsible for the loss.
Then if anyone else tries to support the players he pulls the "accepting mediocrity" card.
It's kinda pathetic.
Paine is doing a good job under very difficult circumstances.

 

[rednwhites]

I'm ready for Smith to be back right now.

 

[Crush]

I'm ready for Smith to be back right now.

Yeah we all do but unfortunately he has been sanctioned for cheating as the captain of Australia.
He will be back before long and this series win will be well deserved for India but will always have an * next to it as the series that Australia's best 2 batsmen were unavailable. And Kohli will know that too.

Not one of the 3 should ever be allowed back , let alone wear the baggy green cap again. They have shat all over the bluudy thing and with it the good name of each and every Australian cricketer before them .

The only allowance that I would make in allowing them to play for our country once again, Is that they donate their earnings to charity, every dollar.

Or they could donate a kidney. Just a thought my love, Sincerely from the "I hate the Chappells NZ Foundation for Underarm Bowling" Xxxx

The feeling is ever so mutual.
I prefer to be direct
Whereas you prefer the lowest form of wit, sarcasm

Hang on Crush, you criticise and smash the Dragons when they play poorly
You pick out poor performing Dragons players and coaches relentlessly
Week after week after week
Double standards Crush

I am criticising the Aussie batsmen for consistently scoring under 200 runs
Same as you criticise the Saints whenever we play poorly
For a national team to score 130-150 in an innings is deserving of criticism
Tim Paine is part of the batting collapses, his average is crap

I see your posts when the Dragons get beat
Singling out players
But leave the cricket team alone huh?

This bullshit about difficult circumstances
Exactly what are these difficult circumstances?
Paine has the full national team less Smith and Warner, he has the pick of the playing crop besides those 2.

His captaincy is a joke
Read the press
His batting is poor
A Wonderful display from a bowler in Cummins who takes 9 wickets and is currently 60 not out shows up Paine and his batting mates for their meek surrender

You keep praising the awful batting displays
For Batsmen who have no regard for their wicket
Batsmen who average 10 or 15
While at the same time you post damning statements about Dragon players who don’t turn up

Amazing double standards

Get help

All those f**kers in our top order would have probably been up in the stand on tinder instead of watching what Cummins and Lyon did then

Yep....exactly

You obviously don’t watch much cricket, Starc is not out for 60 overnight? Pat Cummins is lol.

Yes, I was writing feeling enraged that our bowlers put the batsmen to shame
My point remains the same
# sack every batter

Nahhh, can’t agree
A bit of ball tampering?
Crime level......2/10
Thankfully they will be back in soon
And Smith will be captain within the first 12 months
Though I wouldn’t mind if Cummins was made Capt

I would say the storm should never have been allowed back in for systematically cheating over many years, resulting in other deserving teams not to win
And ban the bulldog grubs forever for cheating the cap a few years back
These are the sporting crimes that cost other teams premierships

What Smith and Davey Warner did was nothing in comparison, nothing
Thankfully 87% of the sporting public agree

I very rarely smash the Dragons players. You might have me confused with someone else. I'm sure if you dig through my posts you will find the odd criticism of Lafai but that would probably be about it.
I try to be supportive of the teams I barrack for.

For Sydney Test I would remove Finch and Mitch Marsh, I don't think they will ever be test batsmen.
Otherwise I would stick with the same team. Harris has upside and I think could be a great opener if he works on his short ball defense. Head has averaged over 40 so he gets a pass mark. Uzzie and S Marsh need to be much better, I would expect our 3 and 4 to be averaging 50 but they have faced some excellent bowling.
Paine and the bowlers stay, that goes without saying.

BTW, when I say difficult circumstances I mean captaining a side minus their two best batsmen whilst playing the best Indian team to ever come to Australia in world number 1 form. Those are difficult circumstances in which to captain a team.
