Australia got distracted by team India's sideshows - Tim Paine on series loss

[nevada]

"The classic example was when they said they weren't going to the Gabba so we didn't know where we were going. They're very good at creating these sideshows and we took our eye off the ball," he added.

 

This is hilarious. What a silly excuse!

I always admired Aussies in past as they played hard on the field and always played to win.But if they lost they never offered excuses and would give other team kudos for beating them. Paine is such a disgrace.

Good joke of the day

Thank you, Tim.  The intense pleasure of an epic beatdown was beginning to wane, but you my man Timothy, have single-handedly ensured that the endorphins are back.  Today I will waste 2 hours watching highlights of Pant, Shardul, Sundar, Nattu, Siraj, Gill, Vihari, Pujara and Ashwin beat you down.  Again.

Cute boys of convict land need to tour India soon. So phainta incoming. I sense a 3 0 phainta.

He's such a loser not like any of the Great aussie captains of the past

[Gollum]

How the mighty have fallen!!!!!!

 

2nd most prestigious leadership position in Australia->Bradman, Morris, Lindwall, Harvey, Benaud, Simpson, Chappells, Border, Taylor, Waugh, Ponting, Clarke, Smith

 

to a guy with less test 100s than Jayant Yadav...and 3 less than Saha despite playing almost same number of matches.

It took him so long to come up with this BS.

[Lone Wolf]

How the hell is this guy still captain is beyond me?  Even Aussies would laugh at this..  Lol.   Even Poms who are always crying won't come up with this lame a** laughable excuse.  That Gabba defeat has scarred Paine beyond repair.

The real reason why Aussies lost at GABBA was this:-

Side shows are what Australian bowlers like McGrath, Gillespie , Warne and many of their fielders have been doing over the years.

Because he was distracted by the sideshows! In comparison to this Paineful excuse, "the dog ate my homework book" sounds very reasonable!

I was on track to becoming a Murakami + Marie Curie combination as an 8 yr old, but cliched and formulaic Bollywood movies distracted me.

Steve Smith for captaincy.
