Former Australian Test captain Tim Paine made a big statement on Monday when he returned to competitive cricket, playing for Tasmania’s Second XI at the Lindisfarne Oval in Hobart, taking six catches behind the stumps, indicating that he had an aggressive neckline. He has fully recovered from the surgery. The wicketkeeper-batsman landed in September.
Penn, who stepped down as Australia’s Test captain after a sexting scandal less than three weeks before the Ashes, had neck surgery in mid-September to repair a bulging disc that left him on his left arm and neck. I was having trouble. The bulging disc was pressing on the nerve canal, causing pain on the left side of the body.
While the 37-year-old Paine has relinquished the captaincy, he has made himself available for selection in the Ashes team. On Monday, he finally played his first full day of competitive cricket against South Australia’s second XI.
Paine took several short catches from both sides behind the stumps as South Australia were bowled out for 165, with Tasmania at 58 at stumps. On Tuesday, Paine will bat for Tasmania if needed.
interesting, Cricket Australia’s national selector George Bailey was also present during the match.
Paine stepped down as Australia’s Test captain on 19 November in a shocking announcement that shook the Australian cricket establishment. At a hurriedly held news conference in Hobart, a weeping Paine announced that he was resigning after an alleged off-field scandal was uncovered.
“Today I am announcing my decision to step down as captain of the Australian men’s Test team. It’s an incredibly difficult decision but the right one for me, my family and cricket,” Paine said on 19 November.
“As a background to my decision, about four years ago, I was involved in a text exchange with a then colleague (in cricket Tasmania). At the time, the exchange was the subject of a thorough CA Integrity Unit investigation, in which I Fully attended and openly participated,” Paine said.
“That investigation and a Cricket Tasmania HR investigation at the same time found that there had been no breach of Cricket Australia’s code of conduct. Although I was acquitted, I deeply regret the incident at the time, and still do today.” I spoke to my wife and family at that time and am very grateful for their forgiveness and support.”
