News about Tim Paine

The cricket WAG, 33, and the Aussie Test cricket captain, 31, confirmed they are expecting their second child together in a sweet Instagram post last month.

Father-of-four Dave Hoppitt, who has died of cancer aged just 38, has been remembered with great love by family and friends.

The joyful news from the Aussie cricket captain and his wife of two years quickly saw his teammates and their spouses rush to congratulate the couple on Wednesday.

Former Test captain Tim Paine (pictured left) is adamant Australia should let Scotland 'get close enough' in their final pool game at the T20 World Cup to ensure defending champions England are eliminated from the tournament.

According to News Corp, Australia selectors have looked elsewhere for batting options, with his bid to reinvent himself as a top-order option failing miserably. The 34-year-old will not compete at the tournament in the West Indies and United States, but David Warner is expected to be named in the team despite being dropped by his IPL side, Delhi Capitals.

As the fallout from Australia's humiliating loss to the West Indies, former Test stars Pat Cummins, his team, and each other, has fallen apart. Shamar Joseph (left with Pat Cummins and celebrating a wicket) engineered the famous Windies win by overcoming injury to take seven scalps.

Former Test players have gathered round to lash the SCG after a rough day of play in Australia's match against Pakistan, with one pace bowler describing how AFL games has played a vital role in creating the low and slow wicket.

A young Australian man who was sexually assaulted at a staff party by a Cricket Australia executive has sent a note to Christmas party sex attack victims. Reuben Williams was a young employee at a school drinks reception when Cricket Australia's communications manager Timothy Whittaker sexually kissed him after a work drinks reception. Whittaker oversaw some of Cricket Australia's biggest scandals, including the 2019 ball tampering case, which cost Steve Smith and David Warner's captain and vice captain roles. Whittaker's resentment of'sandpapergate' and Smith's successor Tim Paine's sexting case led him into the alcohol-fuelled attacks when convicted. Mr Williams has revived his life and says, "So this holiday party season...' If you find someone who appears to be vulnerable, make sure they are secure. If you see someone being scary, try their motives.'

A wannabe model, the owners of ever-growing property portfolios, as well as a coffee aficionado who has founded his own business and the author of children's books. Do any of the above ring a bell?If not, they should. They are just a few of the many players who will feature for Australia this summer against Pakistan and the West Indies on home soil.

Michael Clarke and Tim Paine, two ex-Aussie captains, have broken silence on Mitchell Johnson's extraordinary swipe at ex-teammate David Warner. On Saturday, Johnson wrote an explosive column for The West Australian, questioning whether Warner deserved a 'hero's send-off' after his time in Sandpaper gate and a string of poor results. Johnson also criticised national selector George Bailey's ethics, arguing that he was too close to the players.

Josh Inglis was the Australian waterboy just a few months ago, but after his maiden T20 international against India overnight, he is now placing serious pressure on Alex Carey to replace him at all three levels of cricket.

Tim Paine (pictured left) a former Test captain has revealed what he thinks could be Australia's Achilles heel going into the ODI World Cup final against India on Sunday night. Pat Cummins (right) men will compete against the hosts, who are undefeated throughout the tournament.

David Warner is expected to be disobeyed from the order at the forthcoming Cricket World Cup to allow Mitch Marsh. Tim Paine believes this should be changed to allow Mitch Marsh. After an elbow injury ruled out the veteran opener, Marsh, an explosive middle-order batter, replaced Warner at the top of the order in India in March. As Australia secured a 2-1 victory and finished as the tourists' top run-scorer, plundering 194 runs at 97 in his three innings, Marsh was named player of the series.

Former Australian Test cricket captain Tim Paine has labelled English skipper Ben Stokes' retirement backflip as selfish, saying it was all about 'me, me, me'

LOS bOOTH OLD TRAFFORD: Pat Cummins has stated consistently that his team came here to win. A weather-assisted heist could host muted festivities. If, on the other hand, England gets the time they need to set up the mother of all deciders next week, and Test cricket - for a few days at least - will never have felt more alive. A team has only won a Test series from 2-0 down once before, and that was 1936-37.

TRAFFORD BOOTH - AT OLD TRAFFORD — Pat Cummins lost his wicket to the first ball of this second Ashes Test on the second morning, and it was all downhill from there. Both cricketers have bad days. Cummins doesn't have many, and even his bad ones are usually half-decent. This, however, was something else: a stench inside a shocker wrapped in a sickener. He mustn't have seen anything like it. Many things are true about Australian teams, but total disintegration is not one of them. Cummins presided in Manchester on Thursday over his country's most shambolic session in an Ashes Test since being bowled out for 60 on the first morning at Trent Bridge eight years ago.

On Thursday, Steve Smith will face the 14th Australian to play 100 Test matches for his country. Smith, 34, has been a mainstay in the national team for ten years, establishing himself as one of the world's finest batters and Australia's go-to-man for runs at No. 4. During Smith's Test career, there have been many cheers - as well as some tears. Mail Sport takes a look at some of the superstar's time in Baggy Green here.

Tim Paine, the former Australia captain who lost his position in 2021 after sending lewd text messages, has slammed England's 'over-the-top' strategy to the Ashes. Paine, the wicketkeeper during the Australian Sandpapergate scandal in South Africa, was stripped of the captaincy he had inherited from sacked Steve Smith when explicit messages sent to a Cricket Tasmania employee in 2017 became public. However, Ben Stokes has brought the boot to his staff.

On Sunday, Ben Stokes told his colleagues in the dressing room what playing for his England team is all about - and there is no better cricketer in that situation. If you ask me who I would like to be at the top of the crease from the previous 30 years, it would be Stokes. He's been doing it so many times before, whether it's the World Cup final, World Twenty20 final, or Headingley, four years ago, and it was amazing on Sunday that he barely added another match-winning masterclass to his portfolio. That was a truly amazing innings. When he sees a run chase, he has his sixth sense of being safe, when to protect, and when to strike the bowlers.

Exclusive BY MATT HUGHES: Mail Sport has learned that Pat Cummins' tourists were taken to England by a film crew from Amazon, who have been given exclusive access to the Australian dressing room, team meetings, and hotels throughout the five-match series. Amazon does not have access to England's private areas, but will film along the boundary areas of the four remaining Tests, gaining more footage of both teams of players.

Timothy Whittaker (pictured) was found guilty of sexually assaulting two men who were in a state of'intoxicated vulnerability,' according to the magistrate judging his trial. In 2016, Whittaker sexually assaulted one of his victims in Melbourne, just over three years later.

Paine, 38, lashes out in his book The Price Paid: A Life, Cricket, Lessons Learned, claiming that he was coerced to resign as Test captain after a sexting scandal came to light. He eventually stood down, saying he did not want to be a 'distraction.' Cricket Australia have since expanded an olive branch to Paine and offered him a part in the project's development. Nick Hockley, the former wicketkeeper who retired from cricket earlier this year, has no ill-will against him.

Tim Paine, the former Australia Test captain, has retired from domestic cricket, clocking in on his career at stumps in Tasmania's Sheffield Shield match against Queensland at Bellerive Oval. Paine, who skipped Australia in 23 Tests between early 2018 and 2021, and all 35 Tests, left the field to a guard of honour from players from both teams. When Steve Smith was stood down after the infamous ball-tampering fiasco on Australia's 2018 tour of South Africa, he became Australia's 46th Test skipper.

After stealing from one-time employer Cricket Tasmania, the woman embroiled in a texting drama with former Australia Test cricket captain Tim Paine has avoided prison, but she will spend time in home detention. Renee Ferguson, 49, has pleaded guilty to stealing $5600 worth of cash and memberships from the sporting body during her tenure as a receptionist in 2017. She appeared in Hobart Magistrates Court on Wednesday, where she was sentenced to eight months in jail.
