Oz need minor tweaks in team culture: Paine

MELBOURNE:The Australian team does not need to make wholesale changes to their cricket culture as a few tweaks should once again endear them to home fans, said Test captain Tim Paine.



MELBOURNE, April 19 

The Australian team does not need to make wholesale changes to their cricket culture as a few tweaks should once again endear them to home fans, said Test captain Tim Paine. Australia were rocked by a ball-tampering scandal in South Africa last month in which former captain Steve Smith, his deputy David Warner and batsman Cameron Bancroft were sent home after the third Test in Cape Town and slapped with hefty bans.

“Obviously, we’ve had this incident which has brought everything to a head,” Paine said on Thursday. “But during the Ashes, there wasn’t a lot said about our culture. Looking back, it’s just a few little things that we can tweak and do a little bit better as a team. If we do that, I think the Australian public will jump back on board pretty quickly.” — Reuters
