Q: Episode 57 - The Howie Games with Tim Paine
#TheHowieGames | Tim Paine – This week’s guest is a wonderful example of perseverance. At the start of the last Aussie summer, he couldn’t get a game for Tasmania. By the end of it he was the Australian test cricket captain. Extraordinary. His name is Tim Paine.
Tim is fiercely competitive on the field and extremely warm and friendly off it. His life will change this summer. He will go from being a cricketer that many sports fans don’t know too much about, to being the face of the Aussie team as it sets off in a new direction. He showed just last week in Dubai, how we are lucky to have him.
From the backyard in Tassie, to the spotlight in South Africa, this is Tim’s story.
