Message: [QUOTE="The True King, post: 3211238, member: 9651"] Interesting points. I thought about the Tas keeping situation too. For me, if Paine is axed or calls it quits from tests there makes little to no sense for him to keep in FC cricket. The only scenario I see that happening would be if McDermott is in the test squad and Paine just wants to keep playing for fun and to give back to the game in his twilight. McDermott should get priority if we see him as a long term option. In terms of timing for Paine to go, it seems the media are spinning the narrative that he's earned the right to decide when he goes. I think he'll try hang on through the Ashes but no doubt a poor series v RSA and he's finished. For his successor it just has to be Smith, even if it's only temporary. Marnus is too inexperienced and doesn't strike me as a natural leader although he may grow into it one day. He's the only other option that has job security. I don't consider the bowlers because they already have enough to think about without the need for field settings, bowling rotations, declarations, coin tosses etc. [/QUOTE]
