Watch: Tim Paine’s hilarious telephonic conversation during press-conference at SCG

XtraTime Web Desk: After India posted a mammoth of a total of 622 runs on board everyone thought that Australian captain Tim Paine won’t be in good mood at the end of day 2. But proving everyone wrong the Aussie skipper brought a funny moment during the post day 2 press-conference when he he answered a reporter’s mobile phone that rang while he was being questioned.

“Tim Paine speaking  … who is it, sorry?”

The journalists who were present there in the room were in laughter. It’s fair to say there is no better relief than comic relief after a day that Paine would love to erase from the memory.

He continued with the conversation.

“Who are you after? He’s in the middle of a press conference. Can I get him to call you back?”

It appeared the woman on the end of the line might not have been aware who Paine was. Given the scrutiny on him and his team at the moment, he may not have minded.

“Alright, no worries. I’ll tell him to check his emails. Alright, thanks Casey, cheers.”

Paine continued taking questions but brownie points have to go his way for being a good sport and lightening the mood.
