He started it off by having a conversation with the silly point fielder Aaron Finch. He said, "Tell you what big MS is back in the one-day squad. Should get this bloke down to Hurricanes.. They need a batter."
He then shifted his focus directly to Pant and said, "Fancy that extend you Aussie holiday, beautiful town Hobart too... get him a waterfront apartment. Have him over for dinner. Do you babysit? I can take my wife to the movies while you watch the kids."
Pant didn't forget that as he ensured that he it back to Paine and that's exactly what he did on day 4 of the Test. Pant, just like what Tim did to him a couple of days back, started a conversation with the silly point fielder Mayank Agarwal and said, "we have got a special guest here. Have you heard the word temporary captain ever. You [Jadeja] don't need anything to get him out. Come on lads. He loves to talk, that's the only thing he can do. Only talking, talking."
After what happened at the MCG, it is good to see Pant keep the banter on the field and meet Paine's family and "babysit" his kids. Even Twitter approves his act
