Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ??

[LP]

Paine will be playing.....that finger of his must look like pulp...but he'll play.  Still haven't forgiven Dirk Nannes for that....... in an effing exhibition game.

I'm thinking about Nick Maddinson today, similar circumstances in that a result in a four day game was already way out of WA's reach.

If Paine can't keep he can't play, I can't see us going with Paine as a batsmen and picking Carey simply because Paine would be a hand injured batsmen on the countries fastest bouncing wicket.
