Shaun Tait takes temporary retirement

[talksport]

It had happened to Brad Williams....

[King Tendulkar]

Sachin retired waqar and wasim at the wc. Now we retired Gilly and Tait :cantstop:

[Guest HariSampath]

Shaun who ?? :dontknow:

[cochise]

He was massively hyped before the Perth test and then he failed to fire. I feel kind of sorry for him as this would seriously have hit him psychologically...he must have received little support from the Aussie team members after Perth too. So a bit of R&R is probably a good thing. But he is seriously quick and on rhythm, a deadly force. His action though, is a real worry and he is a huge candidate for back problems, elbow problems (weird hyper extension) etc etc...so don't know what his prospects are in the long run.

[3rd Man]

Shocking news that..He looked like a real talent barring perth

[Sachinism]

hahahahaha one game against india and he quits lmao

[chamatkar]

The only physical strain i can imagine he'd have through this series is on his "tashreef" because of all the sitting on the bench....

[Anakin]

So much for I'll blow them away :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical:

[yoda]

poor guy. finally gets a chance, talked a lot and couldn't back it up. actually, we have a guy like in that our team, except that his dad did the talking. any guesses? :D

[IndianRenegade]

I suspect there is more to this incident than the perth test. I can't believe someone will quit from his profession just because of one failure given that he has proven his talent before.

[satishg]

i guess he took the perth failure too much to his heart and got himself into a turmoil..u cud easily see that in his face..he cudnt back his words with his performance..hope he gets back soon with a better mind..and v shd all be proud of our Sree look how he keeps talking but never gives up..he is truly a talent..:D

[Dravid]

i wouldnt be surprised if he gets hooked with roids for a 1 year and then comes back

Australia have a very strict anti doping policy in their domestic cricket.

He's going to play at some point and will be tested then.

Man, I am really amazed at most of the reactions here. Everyone seems to be glad that Tait broke down. It would have been nicer had all of us here spent some time thinking about some of the trauma he would have gone through for him to have made this decision. One thing that Tait has going for him is, CA will take good for him. I am sure they would have already begun to put a rehabilitation program tailored to suit his specific needs. He will be back, very soon.
