I’m not convinced by your pitch 95.
Plenty of spin.
Maybe it wasn’t unsolicited.
Maybe the receiver wanted to face a couple of balls from a third man.

What I don’t get is: in any position of public profile and especially when you have your eyes on the Captaincy - why? Take away the obvious like he shouldn’t have done that to his Missus etc. OK, so his elevation to Skipper came earlier than predicted with the sandpaper scandal but these people make themselves targets by doing this sort of stuff. OK, they’re human and screw up but it seems they screw up in the dumbest and most avoidable ways possible.

Also, 4 years on, why the sudden leak threat?

He has to be dropped now.

There is no way he can be in the team, they don’t need that baggage.

God I love the drama. Hope more drama hits the team.

How does CA make him captain all those years ago after an investigation like that?? That’s what I don’t get.

he was cleared by tasmania cricket and also cricket aus before he was made captain. So he should not be stepping down imo.

i think the point he’s making is that there was a failure in judgement in appointing him to captaincy with the knowledge in the bank that he’s not the squeaky clean role model that they desperately portrayed him to be throughout his tenure.

no it is more that it is coming out in the media, if that didnt happen he would not be standing down as captain.

You forgot to mention Paine’s aggressive stroke play
