After close of play on Day 2 of the fourth test between India and Australia, captain Tim Paine left everyone in splits when he answered a journalist’s phone in the middle of a press conference.
Paine had just begun to reply to a question when a journalist’s phone kept before him to record the conference began ringing. Paine answered the journalist’s phone and held a full conversation with the caller, taking instructions to be conveyed to the journalist who was sitting in the audience.
Paine has been making headlines throughout the series versus India with his on-field chatter with India wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant, who scored a century on Day 2 of the fourth test.
