Tait announces ODI retirement

[Ramzz]

Expect more retirements from ODI's Dan Vettori B Mcullam Smith Gayle SRT Chawla :P Munni Patel :P G Smith B Lee Haddin

Tait is a good 20/20 bowler because he can have 2/3 over spells where he is explosive and looks very dangerous.. The problem is he can't keep that going.. Australia need to look for more disciplined bowlers, we certainly have some out there.

ICC should enforce a minimum requirement on #Tests' date=' #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.[/quote'] True

[Bradman99]

Well he was the second leading wicket taker at the last WC.

Have a good life, Tait. And I hope to see you playing in the IPL. And I really hope that the concerned media doesn't make this another "player chooses money over nation" story.

But he has, not that there is anything wrong in it IMO, it's upto each individual player to decide.

[pinkfreud]

Lot of things are happening. Smith bowed out of captaincy. Akhtar quits. Now Tait. Let us see if we have more.

Ricky Ponting, if Ian Crappell has his way and goads his bubby Greg to oust Punter.

hatt tere retirement se sirf accha hoga team ka :asleep:

[Cricket Tragic]

Total waste of space. 3 tests in his career and only 35 ODIs. Didn't do anything in the highest form of the game and his only contribution was in the 2007 WC where he was very good.

[hassan_113]

Stops before he bowls- not a good action, no control. Overrated bar 2007 WC

[cricketlover]

Whatever people say he is a World Champion. I respect that. Many supposed legends of the game cant call themselves though.. So give the guy a break

Yep, Sunil Valson is greater than Brian Lara.

one early knockout from the WC...and AUS breaks down.....loving it!!!

[Ranvir]

Next we'll hear 20 - 20 is too much for Tait and that he wants to play 10 over cricket. For a guy as solidly built as him you would expect him to be less injury prone. But then again his action is 80% pure body power and 20% rhythm.

[VRV Singh]

I enjoy watching him bowl on his game, but his stamina is ridiculous even by express phasht bowling standards. Bit of a shame regarding his injuries, he clearly didn't want to alter his style/action so :idunno: Guess we will next see him in IPL and whenever the next Tontee Tontee internationals are

[Holysmoke]

His last test was against India His last ODI was against India :--D

His last T20 will be against the Mumbai Indians:bow:

Here is their reaction. Subcontinent teams are not alone in over-reacting.
