Do we expect any last moment changes from England's squad? @wasteyouryouth @Ed Smith

Can't see it if I'm honest. Reckon it'll be more of the same

Sexting Scandal :/

Blessings in Disguise for Australian cricket.

Paine being removed as captain might just be the thing Australian Test team needed.

There's a joke here. As a mod, I shall refrain.

They haven't groomed anyone yet. Pat Cummins seems the favourite to take over. That said, I am not ruling out a surprise here.

Reason seems to have been outlined here.

Tim Paine quits as Australia Test captain after explicit messages to female co-worker emerge

The board accepted Paine's resignation and has said that process of identifying and appointing a new Test captain will be accelerated

Actions of the past seem to be hounding cricketers of the present. By that logic, half the Australian team would be involved in something or the other.

Obviously not great as he's married but this seems to be from a few years ago and has already been investigated and it was found to be "consensual, private, occurred on the one occasion only, was between mature adults and was not repeated". Unless there's more to this story not really sure why this requires his resignation.

It'll be that, wholesome, family man, squeaky clean Australian Captain vibe he was given after Sandpaper Steve got binned

Irony is this all happened before he was made captain.

Probably had an affair or something like that, and the texts and their existence has been made public now, so resigned for personal reasons.

Which makes him an even stranger choice now. Since he's pretty shite at the whole cricket thing as well

Why is there any confusion regarding who will captain next? Doesn't the VC take over the reigns? Hard to see the point of having a VC then.
