Another Australian Cricket Captain is Out: Our Problem with Sex
Another Australian cricket captain has been sent to the pavilion. Sandgate has given way to a sexting scandal. News reported this week that in 2017, Tim Paine sent lewd text messages to a female colleague. The following year Tim Paine took over Australia’s second most important job, following Steve Smith’s disgrace.
