 Profile

After a few impressive outings in 2005-06, Tim Paine excited Tasmania early last season with a superb 215 opening against Western Australia in his fifth first-class match. As a wicketkeeper who had been playing as a specialist batsman, Paine's double-century placed significant pressure on Sean Clingeleffer and a few games later Paine was handed the gloves. The added responsibility affected his batting - his six innings during that time yielded one score in double-figures and an average of 4.66 - and the previous arrangement was restored. Paine played every match in Tasmania's Pura Cup-winning season, scoring 621 runs at 31.05, and he was the state's highest scorer in the one-day arena where he combined the dual roles for 314 runs at 31.40 and nine dismissals. In his debut year of 2005-06, he celebrated his first state century with 111 in the ING Cup. He had been earmarked for great things when the Tigers signed him to a rookie contract at the tender age of 16. Paine, who captained the Australia Under-19 team to the 2004 World Cup in Bangladesh, has had three stints at the Academy.
