Watch out England...

...Tait has been unleashed.

Shaun Tait, the wicket-taking speedster from SA, will be playing the 4th test.

Let's see how many heads he can crack this time. I'd love to see pieterson jump around, and vaughan reverting to his "no feet, fish outside off" mentality. Bit of blood would be OK too

If Vaughan gets in, then he never has a problem against pace bowling, he just pulls is merrily over mid wicket for a past time. Remember the destruction of Brett Lee in the ICCCT last year? The bowling Vaughan struggles against most is McGraths type pace.

It's no foregone conclusion he will bowl well, he does have a repuatation of spraying it, and he could get the debut jitters on such a big occasion.

If McGrath doesn't play then the bowling attack will be Tait, Kasper, Lee and Warne on a pitch where he won;t get much turn . Rob would then smell 5 an over

yes but they may only bat 60 overs. Tait is unpredictable he may take 5 wickets or he will get hit for 10 an over. you cant tell. just have to wait and see.

Rob · #4 August 25, 2005, 06:23 AM

well. 5 overs for 26 from Tait.

Don't say I didn't tell you say.

However, he has only been hit for 3 fours, and that suggets Englands batsmen have had little problems facing him, just milking him around.

Anyway, I should shut up, Don't want to tempt fate

HaHA! Tresco bowled off NO BALL!!!!!

omg! Treschothick was bowled off a noball! Stupid Lee

Bet it will cost them dearly

Hope so. Tres must really punish Aus for that.

Not 60 ot 70, 160 or 170 runs please Tresly!!!

Seems although I was right.

Tait got 3/97, not bad.
Warne got a 4-fer.

Ponting our best (LOL, our next allrounder), 1/9

have you ever watched him bowled?

Rob · #12 August 28, 2005, 07:55 PM

Obviously not.

McGrath isn't a swinger.

i met mcgrath some years ago during his practise session at sydney and borrowed a dvd from a classmate where he was teaching how to swing bowl.....and in that dvd, he clearly showed a wicket as an example where he got this player (forgot his name) from west indies, out with a classic swing..

so who do i believe? you or the dvd?

tiger_man · #14 August 29, 2005, 10:10 PM

just because he doesnt swing everyday doesnt mean he is not a swing bowler....
