He is not my first choice as captain.
I think that Paine is the ideal Aussie captain ... off the field. He has done a great job in rebuilding the team culture and ensuring that the team gets the respect it deserves.
On field is a different matter. His judgement is questionable and he seems slow to react to changes in the game, or to take the initiative and drive changes in the game. Even worse is his tendency to petulance when things aren’t going his way.
