Donny Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 There's some talk of Shaun Tait either replacing Mitchell Johnson for the MCG Test or even being added as a 4th. quick, in place of Stuart MacGill. In the current Pura Cup match, the big South Australian is terrorising the Queensland batsmen. Bowling at express pace, he took 3/69 in the first innings and has 5/16 in the second from 7 overs. Queensland scored 308 (Chris Simpson 89. James Hopes 59.). SA answered with 366 (Matt Elliott 78. Andy Delmont 64. Mark Cosgrove 54. Ashley Noffke 4/73.) Tait had the locals in tatters by stumps. They were 4/24 and he had 3/15. All his 8 victims have been top 6 batsmen. Link to comment

The Outsider Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Indian batsmen would have their eyes lit up at seeing Lee and Tait in the same bowling line up. Link to comment
Mr. Wicket Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 If India doesn't, someone else will. This bloke's frighteningly talented. Link to comment

This bloke's frighteningly talented.[/quote'] he might have a little of Bond in him ... but i reckon like Bond he will play 25-30% of games .. and be done and dusted in 3-4 yrs time Link to comment
Donny Posted December 2, 2007 Author Share Posted December 2, 2007 Indian batsmen would have their eyes lit up at seeing Lee and Tait in the same bowling line up. Underestimate these two at your peril. :regular_smile: Tait took 6/41 from his 10 overs in a recent domestic one day final. He bowled 14 wides. Richie Benaud always said, "Give me a bowler who gets 4/80 off 20 overs ahead of one who takes 2/50 off 30." Lee's last 3 Test innings: 4/86, 4/82 & 4/87. :wink_smile: Actually, Lee's last 4 Tests on Oz soil - MCG, SCG, The Gabba & Hobart - returned 28 wickets @ 17.07 Link to comment
Ranvir Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Tait is gonna phuck up his back soon with that bowling action. Good fun to watch though, he's got blistering pace and you don't know where the ball is going to end up. Link to comment

fineleg Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Bring 'em on' date=' [b']as simple as that. MM, By that do you mean that you are confident that our batsmen combined are going to rack up in the vicinity of 400 (modest but reasonable) 1st Inn totals regularly in 2007-8 down under series?

Ram Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Lee's last 3 Test innings: 4/86, 4/82 & 4/87. :wink_smile: Actually, Lee's last 4 Tests on Oz soil - MCG, SCG, The Gabba & Hobart - returned 28 wickets @ 17.07 Actually, I also remember another occasion when Lee took 4 wickets, but his figures looked like this. Lee 39.3 5 201 4 :D Sydeny Australia, early 2004 Donny ? Link to comment
Donny Posted December 2, 2007 Author Share Posted December 2, 2007 And SRT has 13 Test ducks and 75 other times has been dismissed under 20. What's your point, mm ? Link to comment
Shehezaada Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 your deceptive Donny...you don't make any predictions cuz you know if we beat you then we'll never let you live it down, but u go on and support your players and make these small comments you know will rile us up anyways, Tait bowls at a scorching pace, but when it hits Tendulkar's bat it's gonna light the field on fire.

Donny Posted December 2, 2007 Author Share Posted December 2, 2007 Tait now has 6/29 as Q'land stumbles to 8/116. The one Bulls batsman holding up the procession is Ashley Noffke. He's 49 n.o. and is having a great season. I thought he should have been in the Test team ahead of Johnson. He has 27 wickets @ 19.8 and is averaging over 70 with the bat. He's second only to the prolific Simon Katich on the batting aggregate list. When one considers he bats at 8, it's even more noteworthy. Link to comment
