I rate Paine especially highly at the moment, and your opinion of him makes my appreciation of him, his team's achievements, and his overall approach even greater. Having - as a result of his team's efforts - achieved what Ponting and Clarke each failed to achieve, twice, is no mean feat. I'm still hoping for 3-1, but if it ends up 2-1 or even 2-2 it's been an amazing team achievement, and he's played his part, better than most expected.

Yeah the Ponting and Clarke comparison is revealing. Paine couldn't do much about the batting form ( except his own) but keeping an effective bowling attack with the chops and changes must have required a good deal of man mgt skills.
