Didn't see that coming.

Credit to Warner also who I had written off long ago. Wonder if he'll have test form though - hope so.

Well done boys. Tricky target but sublime batting.

No Wade is not an option

Both Carey and Inglis are in the Aust  A squad. Carey is the designated captain of the Aust A squad

Bit of a witch hunt.

Bloke trying to side some side puss, apparently it was consensual at the time and he was cleared of poor conduct?

Sounds like someone sold the goss for some $$$ before the ashes.

HUN saying they've being investigating this for the last few weeks. They obviously not saying how they got the lead. But in this morning's paper they almost boasting about what they've done here.

Just feel for his wife, kids and family

What a gutter rag the HUN is. But at least Rupert will be proud

Exactly.

So some a-hole has got the goss, decided to cash in before the tour, and has cost Paine the captaincy.

He was due to give it up anyway if there's a silver lining...

So Paine and his wife are on the edge. How pathetic is this whole story and the fact it’s been replayed once again in the media.

Perhaps this girl should show her face?
