It’s been 16 years since Australia has taken 4 pace bowlers into a game in Australia.
And that didn’t really count because Mike Whitney played.
At the Waca there is no doubt Tait is going to come in for Hogg, the tongue may even be suspended.
The Waca’s groundsman was interviewed and he almost drooled at the thought of Tait.
Tait completely destroyed Victoria tonight in a 2020 game.
They were none for 24, and then 4 for 26, Tait picked up 3 of those wickets, two were bowled and one was LBW.
That is what the boy can do, he quite often looks ordinary for an over or two, sometimes even a spell. Suddenly when he gets it right he is unplayable.
I have broached the subject of using 4 fast bowlers before. I was against it at the time, for one, because South Africa do it, and two, because the Mcg has been the best pitch for spinners this year, the Waca is a completely different proposition.
I never told anyone this before, but I quite often wanted Warne dropped for the Waca tests.
There is something almost sexually exciting about 4 out and out quicks bowling extreme pace on a trampoline pitch.
It’s like watching a heavy weight fight, or a Jerry Springer episode, the pure thrill that something could go horribly wrong.
Ahktar gave it to you, Devon Malcolm gave it to you, and now we have Tait, the unpredictable out and out quick bowler.
However, he aint some travelling freak show, worlds fastest bowler, sort of guy.
He took 70 wickets in a season for South Australia once. Not many bowlers have ever taken that many wickets in a shield season.
Thems good numbers.
So let him loose, he if fails it may be just as exciting as if it comes off.
You know, like having $ex with a crazy chick, even if its bad, you will still have great stories to tell.
