Former Australian captain George Bailey believes that current skipper Tim Paine was a superstar from a very young age, and witnessed a meteoric rise in his career.
Bailey further stated that Paine, who is under pressure following his poor batting record after being appointed as the captain, is a natural leader who commands respect through his playing style.
"He was such a superstar at a young age and had such a meteoric rise - he probably didn't understand what it was like for someone on the fringe or someone who is struggling. He just commands respect the way he goes about his business. He's a natural leader," Cricket.com.au quoted Bailey, as saying.
Reflecting on Australian coach Justin langer, Bailey said that the former is passionate about the team and works hard for the same.
"From what I've observed with the younger players in Western Australia team, he works them particularly hard but from that work ethic he instills a great a sense of belief.
