Always knew he was a compulsive puller. Stood down as captain with 17 days to go till the ashes.

Hope he still makes the team

Terrible news for England.

Creepy sex pest.

His tears while reading out his statement are worthy of an award

The Aussies love a teary press conference

Not as good as Smith and Warners I thought. Didn’t get an uncontrolled outburst where you couldn’t tell what he was saying.

I have to say it seems v harsh. Been investigated and no action taken only to take action 4 years later.

Very true, Smith was right up there with best performing actors.

Think he has took this action as it was about to become public knowledge, his wife and the Aussie cricket board knew about it and obviously they were fine with it.

He thought the sexting was private. But he heard today that someone is making them public. Smells very much of Cricket Australia swept it under the carpet. The woman who worked for Cricket Tasmania had to quit her job.

When appointed captain, he said “the behaviour of the players needs to improve” bit hypocritical really.

With a technique that leaves your middle stump exposed he was a accident waiting to happen

Perfect excuse to get Smith back in as captain.

Don't think the Aussie public would be too keen, Cummins seems the popular choice

In the current climate it would be a P A disaster for Aussie cricket to re appoint Smith. Cummins would be a bold move, he would be the first quick in sixty five years!

What is it with Aussie captains and public sobbing ? Doesn’t take a lot to have them blubbing like babies . Though is there a man jack amongst us who hasn’t sent dirty texts to our mistresses ? Half my staff must have seen my knob !

I think cummin was what’s got Paine in this mess in the first place.

That slip of the tongue by the Aussie news bloke where Paine had a bulging d!ck not so long ago wasn’t far off the mark it turns out

Has his eyesight got better?

Having read the said texts I find it an irony that he may be replaced by his vice captain called Pat Cummins.

Cummins watch actually give the nickname cider by Timmy. If you say Cummins cider to yourself you’ll get it

He might well be mate, but without an emoji and with the weird s**t people post on here, how on earth can you tell?

Well I HOPE he is now ive said that.

His actions don’t meet the standards of an Australian captain , but he’s been ok with it for 4 years though

Not sure what the back story is but presumed it’s the old woman scorned thing , selling her story etc . He’s certainly bang to rights with a proper “ full English “ of choice acronyms and filth ,that’s for sure .

Cummins named skipper with Smith as his deputy, meanwhile Paine will miss the Ashes due to taking a break from the game.

Interesting choice to select a quick as their captain, can't think of many quicks who've been successful captains in test cricket.

Sadly I still think England will get hammered down under, Australia simply possess the better players, and away teams rarely win in an Ashes series.

Smith will be captain in all but name.
