Tim Paine: I lost all confidence after injury in 2010

The Hindu  

Australia captain Tim Paine has opened up on the struggles he endured after suffering an injury that threatened to derail his career in 2010. Paine admitted he underwent a “downward spiral” after the injury, sustained in a charity match by a cricket ball. “I got to the stage where I was scared of getting hit, and I just had no idea what I was going to do,” he told Bounce Back podcast. The truth is, one, I was scared of getting hit and two, I just didn’t know what I was going to do,” he said. But I now try and share with younger players that you need people to talk too and share.” ‘Fish out of water’ Paine had made his Test debut in July, 2010, and after playing four Tests, reappeared after seven years, in November, 2017.
