User:TripleRoryFan/sandbox/Tim Paine with the Australian cricket team in South Africa in 2017–18

Tim Paine played for the Australian cricket team on their tour of South Africa in early 2018.

Background
Paine had been recalled to Australia's Test team for the 2017–18 Ashes series, a shock recall after years without playing Test cricket, and played in all five matches. This carried over to Australia's ODI series against England where he played four matches, and he was then included in Australia's squad for the tour as their wicket-keeper. Paine wasn't able to play any more first-class matches before the tour began as he was rested by Cricket Australia for the only Sheffield Shield match played before the players left.

Tour match vs. South Africa A
Paine performed well in Australia's only tour match against South Africa A, both excellent with his wicket-keeping and steady with his batting.
