BIOGRAPHY Tim Paine, born 8 December, 1984, in Hobart, Tasmania, is an Australian cricketer who plays for the Tasmanian Tigers in Australian domestic cricket and plays club cricket for the University of Tasmania Cricket Club.
Paine is a right-handed batsman and wicket-keeper, as well as a right arm bowler at junior level. A product of the Australian Cricket Academy, he is a wicketkeeper batsman who has represented Tasmania and Australia 'A' at first-class and List A one-day level, as well as playing One Day Internationals (ODIs) for Australia. Paine had to learn cricket from an early age. He captained Tasmania at Under-15 and Under-17 level, along with being a member of its Under-19 team at the age of just fifteen. He was vice-captain of the Australian under-17 side under captain and hero Andrew Brown, before scoring a first grade century for the University club in Hobart.
Said his father John: "He was always the smallest one playing cricket. We lived in a fairly quiet street and we lived right next to the beach so they used to play a fair bit of beach cricket. So he had to learn from an early age I suppose to be a bit stronger and a bit more competitive." When he turned 16, Paine became the youngest Australian domestic cricket's youngest-ever contracted player when he received a basic $AU10,000 rookie contract with Tasmania. View GALLERY:
