Today Paine showed what a poor Oz captain he is

England will probably win the Oval test thanks to the incompetence of the Oz captain.He is their worst captain since Ian Johnson in 1956. Johnson had Miller and Lindwall two of  the best fast bowlers that ever played and contrived to lose. England doctored the wickets to suit Laker but Johnson was a  liability. that was too much for the rest of the team to overcome.

Johnson was seen as a safe pair of hands as was Paine.Just count how many catches he has dropped. He even did his best to put Steve Smith off as difficult catch by diving in front of him.

The other claimed safe pair of hands was Mrs May who has done her best to screw up Brexit and made  things ten times more difficult for BoJo. She was chosen like Paine and Johnson as someone who would not upset the opposition. That hands victory to the other side. What you need is a PM/Captain who does upset the opposition and not give out knighthoods to convicted woman beaters and mediocre civil servants.
