Tim Paine must have got mixed up with what Smith told him to do
SS- “Right Paine, you choose BAT, if you win the toss.”
TP, “Okay, Skip, I mean Steve”
TP, walking out, talking to self, “Must bat, must bat, must bat,”
Referee at toss, “Call!”
TP, “Bowl”
D’oh.
I must admit , I like the way Steve Smith allows Paine to pretend to be Aussie Captain at the toss. At what stage does he decide to take over, first bowl? leaving the changing room?
