They haven’t made any decision mate, never answered the question they just kept Paine around like a bad smell and have made Cummins Vice. Hoping Paine hangs around for another year and another option that isn’t Smith drops in their laps.
You seriously don’t think the captain holds any responsibility? Ffs…. As a captain and leader Paine >>>> Smith
100% on Smith
I don’t want him back as skipper, I think he showed he was weak when it come to strong personalities like Warner. But I have no doubt he wasn’t in the the ridiculous plan and took the punishment as the skipper.
The perfect captain at the time of sandpaper gate would have been Usman Khawaja. Unfortunately he wasn't in the boys club
Yet you cared enough to comment.
I don't care that I commented.

Fresh twist as charges revealed after Paine quits Test captain role amid sexts scandal
According to the Herald Sun, the messages date back to the eve and the morning of the first Ashes Test at the Gabba in 2017.
They report that while some of the messages were too explicit to publish, the exchange included Paine suggesting to the woman: “Will you want to taste my *** ?? F*** me, I’m seriously hard.”
The messages also included what was described in the texts as a “dick pic”.
In a correspondence with Australia Cricket authorities in June 2018, the woman claimed she was offended by “Mr Paine’s sexually explicit, unwelcome and unsolicited photograph of his genitals in addition to the graphic sexual comments”.
Cricket Australia reportedly became aware of the messages as long ago as March 2018 after letter of complaint were sent to Cricket Australia and to Cricket Tasmania - the latter of which she worked at before resigning in 2017.
In a statement, Cricket Tasmania said: “As soon as Cricket Tasmania was made aware, it undertook an investigation that determined the interaction was consensual, private, occurred on the one occasion only, was between mature adults and was not repeated,” he said.
“Cricket Tasmania clearly does not condone this type of behaviour and addressed the matter directly with Tim Paine.
“However, because of the consensual nature of the actions it was determined that no further action was required or appropriate.”
It is also reported that complaints were made to the Australian Human Rights Commission regarding alleged sexual harrassment in relation to the exchange.
