^^ It is sad to see Tim Paine ending his career like this and he is 36 years old and i hope he will not retire, he is stepping down as captain and i hope he will get a suspension or something like that rather than ending his career. So the question will be who will be the next Test captain for Australia and i do not see any potential young players who could carry the torch.

Why not Steve Smith? He is the best player in the squad right now. David Warner won't be a bad choice either. And in case they are aiming for the future, then they should go for Marnus Labuschangne. Now what I don't want is them to hand over the captaincy to someone who is not performing at the moment. That rules out players like Mitchell Starc. Anyway, this is going to be another turbulent phase in Australian cricket. They just won the T20 World Cup, and things looked to be going in the right track.

Consider his career finish if CA is serious about these allegations because Paine can't cement his spot in the squad as wicketkeeper-batsman. He was there only because he was captain.

They are not even considering Starc, Marnus names for the captaincy. Many in management wants Pat Cummins to lead the Australia as he's also vice captain but they are worried about his workload cause he play all 3 format and cricket is already became very hectic for the fast bowler. Would be interesting if they go with Warner or Smith tho.

Bloody hell.... Sexting scandal, Paine is gone. Surprisingly it happened in 2017-18-ish but CA still handed him captaincy after Sand paper gate.

That's how things move around big players and celebrities. I m sure that coworker must be blackmailing Tim since that sexting, once he refused to get blackmailed she revealed this story. Recently H Pandya of India is also facing rape allegations. The one who accuses H Pandya of raping her waited till T20 WC, bitter but strange thing.

When did this happened? I didn't hear anything about it although not shocking if its true. Pandya is controversial guy and if you believe his own words then he consider himself as big fuckboi.

On Paine i think it was CA, they ignored the allegation because they were already in deep mess due to Sand paper scandal.

A woman named Rehnuma Bhati has accused that Hardik along with his two friends raped her at the Trident hotel many years ago.

"She (rehnuma) wrote that she was forced to sleep with Munaf Patel in a continental hotel, and with Hardik Pandya in a hotel named Trident. According to the complaint, Pandya and his two friends committed all kinds of unnatural sexual activities with her including oral sex and anal sex, and all of them were drunk," the report stated.

Well, we all know that these types of allegations and problems are nothing new for cricketers as many greats of the game (I won't say any names) have also had this type of problem. I think this really happens because of no sense of discipline.

Big Boards suppresses such news to safe there reputations. BCCI n CA will both give cover to there players over current sexual allegations. Also both victims waited for considerable amount of time before coming out with allegations that's making things suspicious.

Ok, this could be one out of two things. The girl is trying to get some attention and it could be that the situation has happened because all of them wanted to. And another thing that could happen is that this has actually happened and the girl is actually telling the truth. And I think this matter will be solved by giving the girl some money and suppressing any news about this.

Literally no surprise that it has a Mumbai connection and it suppressed by major media outlets. Delhi NCR, Bangalore and Mumbai has a history of rave parties and such meetups, tons of news doesn't comes into public cause of celebrity, political and business connections. I have a property in Hauz khas so i know thing or two what happen in those Hauz khas farmhouse all the time.

Frankly what I feel is that girl is only trying to get attention and coverage in media.. Where she was since two years and suddenly this news came,..well this can be true but it is my feeling . no way near I know hardik pandya whether he can do this to any girl or not. But I know this matter will be closed within a matter of few days

Pandya can easily get out from this scandal, already no further news are coming regarding this scandal. So We can assume that things are very much settled at Pandya side. But it wont be easy to suppress the victim in Australia since laws are very much strict and enforced in Australia thats why Tim has resigned from captaincy.

The ball tampering incident is the reason i am not expecting CA to appoint Steve Smith as the captain and as JSRAW said Pat Cummins could be the next captain.

Consider his career finish if CA is serious about these allegations because Paine can't cement his spot in the squad as wicketkeeper-batsman. He was there only because he was captain.

It is a fact that he wont be in the team solely as a wicketkeeper batsman as there are many players that have the potential to replace him.

Not sure what really happened. They might have slept together, but to come out with an accusation years later is a mystery.

Oh common.. that incident happens many years ago and Steve Smith was banished for one year when he was at his peak. Ball tampering is something that is very common in test cricket. Steve Smith was unlucky and that's the reason why he got caught. And I still don't understand the logic in banning three batsmen for ball tampering and giving clean chit to the bowlers. Anyway, bygones are bygones. Smith already received a disproportionate punishment for his misadventure. I don't want him to be targeted again.

It's a big blow for Australia as Ashes is just ahead. But what I feel is that Aussies have so much depth in there team that replacement of captain or one or two key players won't effect there performance. I do agree that Smith is strongest canadate for captaincy. It will be interesting to place bet  on new Aussies test captain.

Yes exactly that incident is gone way back now, smith has got all the punishment and he came back with a bang with back to back centuries. He is the best batsman in test matches currently with an average of above 60 so there is no doubt that he is tbe best candidate to become thr captain of Australia in test matches.

Steve smith and david warner these are thr best option for the australian cricket board to appoint the next captain. Both of them have been involved in that ball tampering incident against south africa but both already got their punishment and one of them must be the captain. In test matches warner has not been in the best of form so I think steve smith is the only option

I am sure that we will not even hear news about it after two days. Whatever they do we wont hear it again, it just one of those things that come nd go in life of celebraties.What happens there we are not aware of whether the girl is saying truth or not but if it ia true then it is very sad thing. But we cant say anything about this , after two days no one will be talking about this

Does it really matter, yeah they purchased something which was costly and if the authorities does not want to check their statements on how they are able to purchase expensive items, which they can literally because they are getting a good pay scale. There is no point in having this the main headlines if they paid the tax they are asked to. The news always changes and that is the nature of news .

You seems to talk as if the incident took place a decade ago, it was 3 years back and may be he have taken the blame for the team members doing the tampering, what ever it may be the situation he was stripped and suspended for over an hour and i still think those kind of punishment were excessive. Steve Smith is the one who could lead Australia but whether CA would appoint him is a different story.
