Paine’s experience with gloves and batting will be vital in South Africa as Paine looks to continue his fine Test career to date Averaging 40 over his 9 Test career date Paine is establishing himself as a very fine player always contributing runs to the team cause. Paine like his keeping coach in Australian team Brad Haddin was a very driven Cricketer Paine displays these same qualities and lifts whenever selected for Australia a highly inspirational character. Paine will excel in South Africa with the wickets often hard and quick paced like Australia.
