"My goal was to hopefully help Australia retain the World Cup. However, with our involvement now finished I feel it is the perfect time to move on in a new direction. “Cricket Australia has been very supportive of me over the years and again has accepted the decision I have made. I am very thankful for all they have done and I now look forward to the next phase of my career." More to come ...
jpkonline Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 good decision Tait waiting for nehra to announce his retirement next
Prakat Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Awesome. Tait is done with Cricket Australia and is a free agent now. Wonder which IPL franchise will take him up on his overtures.
vvvslaxman Posted March 28, 2011 Author Posted March 28, 2011 Lot of things are happening. Smith bowed out of captaincy. Akhtar quits. Now Tait. Let us see if we have more.

donkey Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Never looked like a genuine bowler anyways, Lee was proper talent.
Sir john Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Never looked like a genuine bowler anyways' date=' Lee was proper talent.[/quote'] he is playing for our team bhaayo. :rr:

Sir john Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 He remains a kangaroo until april 2nd.:orderorder: :agree: :nice:
Misu243 Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Good decision. No offense to him but he was the worst bowler I've seen in this WC.
NareshK Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 He is the last bowler whom I would choose to bowl in a T20 match and that too in IPL on Indian wickets where there is no bounce or swing to help a bowler like him. He has no control and he is effective only on Australian tracks because of his wicket taking ability. Also those 5 wides he gives away often puts a lot of pressure on his side especially in tight situations.
Bumper Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 ICC should enforce a minimum requirement on #Tests, #ODIs for players to use the media to announce their retirement. Tait has played 3 tests & 35 ODIs and has hardly won anything significant. He does not deserve a cricinfo headline. He should simply tell his mom & dad about his decision and move on.
Switchblade Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Lot of things are happening. Smith bowed out of captaincy. Akhtar quits. Now Tait. Let us see if we have more. Didnt Lee said that he is also going to retire or something like that
kabira Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Tait has an indian girl friend. I guess he would become full time IPL player now :)
