Paine Agrees With Pointers From Johnson’s Column, But Finds Attack On Bailey Unnecessary
Former Australia Test: Former Australia Test captain Tim Paine said he agrees with certain pointers from ex-fast bowler Mitchell Johnson’s column, but added that him attacking chief selector George Bailey was a bit unnecessary.
In his column for The West Australian, Johnson slammed David Warner and his plans to retire from Test cricket following Australia’s three-game series against Pakistan and brought up the infamous sandpaper scandal again. He then took aim at Bailey, the former captain and Paine’s close friend, for not being hard on Warner as a chief selector.
“I think a lot of his (Johnson's) article, he raised some pretty valid points. The George stuff I didn’t love, I thought that was a bit unnecessary, but was George too quickly from a player to a selector? It’s a valid question.”
