Tim Paine: Ex-AUS skipper picks his AUS XI for 4th Ashes Test

Ex-AUS skipper Tim Paine recently shared his anticipated lineup for the 4th Ashes Test match at Old Trafford. Despite some ongoing debate, Paine’s suggested XI only sees a single change from the previous Test. The shift involves replacing Scott Boland with the formidable Josh Hazlewood.

Tim stated in his chat on SEN Tassie Breakfast –

“People are going to be slightly disappointed if you’re looking for any headlines or any drastic changes.” Paine chose to retain the under-pressure David Warner in the lineup, to the surprise of some fans. Warner’s place seems secured despite his struggles, highlighting Paine’s faith in the experienced opener.

Tim Paine shared – “Both of these teams under their new coaches have tried to set an environment where guys feel really comfortable.” He added that the management, including Andrew McDonald, George Bailey, and Tony Dodemaide, strives to ensure players know they are trusted implicitly.
