Wellington Phoenix defender Tim Payne may well be the ruing the day Tim Paine was named in the Australian cricket team.
The similarity between their names has seen the Kiwi footballer berated by Indian fans in the wake of Australia's fourth test loss in Brisbane.
Aussie captain Paine rubbed the opposition and much of the cricketing world the wrong way during the third of four tests at the Sydney Cricket Ground last week, by his ongoing and at times tedious sledging from behind the stumps directed towards Indian batsmen.
While Paine's comments, which at one point saw him call Ravi Ashwin a d***head, were criticised, his inability to lead his side to victory despite playing on home soil was likely even more embarrassing.
India took victory in the final test and the series, with heroics from Rishabh Pant who knocked an unbeaten 89, guiding his side to a record chase and a three wicket win on day five in Brisbane.
