Tait's brain a national treasure

What it must be like to be in Shaun Tait’s head.

Look there is a topless female clown performing in a rodeo.

Is that a dwarf dressed as Hitler?

Spiders licking ants.

And a space ship made out of ice cream.

We are never quite sure what Tait is going to say next, which must be a bit like facing him.


Not two weeks ago he said he wasn’t really thinking about playing tests.

One dayers were more his things.

Then he destroys NSWales with reverse swing in a one dayer, not for the first time, and he wants to play test cricket again.

That is what it is like being Shaun Tait.

When he learnt to ride his bike, his parents asked him what he wanted to do now, he said, “shoot dragons in space”.

There are no dragons in space Shuan, and you aint going to India, even if you and Shane Harwood are the only two Australians who understand reverse swing.

The selectors just aren’t going to do it.

What if they fly you all the way over, and you arrive and decide to become a snake handler.

It’s too risky.

Why don’t you stay at home, and continue your therapy and wickets, and when the Hitler dwarfs and topless female rodeo clowns stop appearing in your brain, we’ll call ya.
