Tim Paine was the golden child of Australian cricket. Affectionately dubbed ' The Kid' by fans, Paine was the youngest-ever contracted player in Australia at 16 years old. The wicketkeeper-batsman rose to the captain' s chair as the cleanskin new leadership after the furore of the ball-tampering incident in South Africa. Paine' s three-year turn at Test captaincy was turbulent on the pitch, with a slew of narrow wins and close, tough results. Then, in November 2021, a sexting scandal saw him step down as Australia' s Test captain, taking an indefinite break from the game. Paine was down - but not out. As the scandal has played out in the public spotlight, Paine has had to grapple with the aftermath on his marriage, his career and his reputation. He made a mistake - and has paid the price for it. A high price. In a frank, heartfelt autobiography, Tim Paine reflects on the highs and lows of his prestigious career, his time captaining the gentleman' s game, what the baggy green means to him and the impact one choice can have on a life.
Tim Paine was born in 1984 in Hobart. The wicketkeeper-batsman made his Test cricket debut against Pakistan in 2010, and took over the captaincy following the 2017 ball-tampering incident. He played his last Test in 2021. Tim and his wife Bonnie have two children.
