Cricket Australia admits it mishandled Paine investigation

Cricket Australia's current leadership team says the organisation "sent the wrong message" with its management of the 2018 investigation into Tim Paine's role in a sexting incident, conceding he should have been removed as Test captain at the time.

Really is amateur hour.
Paine shouldn't have ever been made Captain given what was known.
He may have made the original mistake but it's not his fault he was appointed Skipper.
Now it's embarrassed him, his family & the Australian Team.

One of them.

Must be all the squatting.

Thanks for the tip, great relaxed interview with the Fot. Nice to hear Kim Hughes as well.

Clag is a funny bugger, he's on every Saturday during the cricket season.

Was he “pounding down like a machine”? Or is that just Tim Paine…?

I think part of it is the forbidden aspect - people like to take risks. Of course it's particularly dumb when you are in the public eye.

Good doco on this about Anthony Weiner (no joke) who was running for New York mayor and was married to Huma Abedin, top adviser to Hillary Clinton at the time. Did it multiple times, threw away his political career, marriage and did jail time.

Weiner – how a film about a political sex scandal suddenly got more intimate

It was meant to be a documentary about a politician redeeming himself after being caught sexting. Then, as Anthony Weiner was running for New York City mayor, he was caught out again …

Former Victorian cricketer Geoff Allardice is appointed CEO of the ICC permanently (had been doing the job on an interim basis).
He also spent a year or two on Melbourne's list. Never played an official senior game but played a post-season exhibition match in Vancouver in 1987.

Tmmy's accuser certainly came in silent off the long run.

Whispering Death style.

Article on line saying the original complainant is not the leak. And that CA are certainly guilty of cover up.

So she’s run him out ? Of the game ? Literally.

Yep, and from a no-ball !

You couldn't make this up if you tried. Such incestuous social circles. Turns out Tim Paine's brother in law, Shannon Tubb, was also texting lewd messages to the same Cricket Tasmania employee, seemingly trying to drum up some extra curricular activity outside of his marriage. Shannon Tubb also being a Tasmanian first class cricketer and team mate of Paine's. I wonder whether Painey got up on his high horse about Tubby cheating on (or at least attempting to cheat on) his sister?

Popular girl; looks to have some winning ways about her! Men always vulnerable when they are led by the wrong head.

Paine out of the 1st test team.

Paine out of the 1st test team.

That’ll be the end of his career.

 

[Leysy Days]

Cricket Australia board, executives and particularly Nick Hockley are a disgrace and deserve to lose the Ashes.

Spineless, weak pricks.

 

[Leysy Days]

Telling that Cricket Tasmania issued the statement not CA as well.

Zero chance of hosting an Ashes test after standing up for Tim and calling CA out for the cowards they are.

At least they have ethics and support their players.

It's a terrible way for the career of a guy who's done so much good for the Australian team to have his career end like this.
Absolute debacle by the ACB/CA.

 

[jb03]

Have some sympathy for Paine but not sure he is the victim here.

 

[Leysy Days]

Disgrace Tooheys.

Deserted the Test Captain who led us with composure, confidence and calmness when we had no-one else in our darkest hour.

Not to mention his quality on the field (sits in the arguement as our second best keeper batsman - perhaps Marsh gets him for longevity).

Been tried for the same crime twice.
