We will carry paine in the team during the ashes then he is probabky gone general . Seriously let's hope he isn't a liability this summer with decision making . All consensus now is that it's his last series . I hope he contributes as he was very costly with decisions and form against india in another home loss to them . Twice under his leadership never happened in Australias cricket history against india on home soil before timmy came along

Oh by the way, check the catch Tim Paine took on an article on this sight. The catch of the season.

Early days with inglis after the ashes I suspect both inglis and carey could play in same side as I've said for some time on many posts elsewhere potent combination for Australia although inglis needs to accuse some more experience

Oh by the way Inglis is a better keeper than Carey by the length of a straight. Just as good at batting as well.

The article was about either Inglis or Carey batting, not replacing Paine. Read it properly. Two more years of Timmy, looking forward to it.

Still didn’t crack a century like carey and nsw had key bowlers missing for paine , no cummins or hazelwood ? . Carey’s inclusion is inevitable . Check out today’s roar piece saying carey and inglis can both fit in squad without paine been saying it for many months . Better balance we will get better results . It’s inevitable and we are holding on to paine for no good reason he’s only cost us results as captain with his inept decision making under pressure and for the most part poor batting and even poor keeping against india this last series

Paine just top scored in both Tassie innings in their thrashing of NSW (87 and 40no).In what was described as a difficult pitch (NSW first innings 32), Paine made batting look easy. His keeping in the last few matches has been brilliant. Will look forward to watching him play test cricket for at least two more years.

Quite enjoyed carey’s 125 against nsw a few weeks back more evidence you won’t accept . Intersting to see carey’s first class average up to 36 , paine now back on 29 .

Yes Paine is really struggling. Opened and made 54 off 68 balls in the one day match against SA. Only got out trying to hit the winning run. Took three brilliant catches including your hero Carey. Oh by the way Carey made 4.

Only if the rest of the side carry him through the ashes general . It’s way off he’s 37 then too. He’ll get his swan song most likely but at the cost of settling our side for future tours in 2022 it could cost us. Paine will be selfish and hold on under the weak CA pr machine. Right thing to do is step down and get carey and inglis in there asap both could play and clock up big runs as smith then aets better fielding choices and tactics and uses the drs much better . Such a shame we lost to india and drew in England when the pressure was on timmy really cost us results .

I will enjoy watching him captain in the Ashes series at the end of the year.

Paine scored two runs with the bat didnt he ? Paine bowled so it’s hardly international bowling standard he got smacked at a rate of 6 an over off non shield level players

If paine and wade are anything to go by nowadays and paine only makes 2 runs in this lower grade well you have to wonder what he’s doing in the test team let alone captain

It is the premier cricket league in Tasmania. Most of the Tasmanian Shield team are playing in this competition.

Your clueless, 1st grade is a whole lot harder than you think it is. They have to be good enough to face international bowlers and score runs.

Perfect or don't you mean australian captain keeper . They could have played smith and let him wicket.keep although he'd smack 200 runs instead of two runs and take a few wickets at half the average

At 60 runs off ten overs and a few runs with the bat in this class I say we have found australian captain

Dia dora league , it most certainly isn't test cricket let alone shield . Timmy was out batting for a few runs and got smacked for 60 runs with ball off ten overs . Sounds thrilling
