Shades of Herschelle Gibbs, for mine.
Perhaps not batting him 3 or 4 places lower than where he plays all of his domestic cricket would be beneficial for the man.

Yes I suppose he batted a little like Herschelle Gibbs too

Tait's speed graph is like a stock market bad day. I don't know how he can be the tearaway quick Australia would want him to be in test matches. Almost Shoiab Aktharish.

Funnily enough, the Chappell-Hadlee might be a more competitive series to be fair

Shaun Tait is just a poor bowler, it doesn't matter how quick he is. Australia already have two very good quick bowlers (Johnson, Lee).

Why is Mike Hussey always the guy who needs to make all these adjustments, he was doing so ****ing well down at no.6, but everytime some adjustments need to be made Mike Hussey is looked at as Mr.Quick fix, he is not even in great form and constantly moving him from his usual slot isn't helpful either.

He came in with plenty of time left today though. Anyway, most young players coming into the side have to play a bit lower down the order to start with.

I disagree.
Since 2008, Hussey has been prolific (even despite latest failure) at No.4, and No.5 even more than No.6.
I'd say let him remain at No.4. Chuck out Clarke, bring in Hodge. Australia's problem is mainly batting.

Rather than calling Tait a poor bowler, i would say he is a bowler who depends heavily on rhythm, when his rhythm is good he can run through batting side in a jiffy, but when things aren't going right he can be really poor, but he is definitely a match-winner and should be in the ODI side whenever his body isn't troubling him.

Yeah I guess, all he had to do was save his country from defeat in both the match and the series with all the pressure in the world on him. Plenty of time.

Hughes to open? DWTA. Would want Jaques to step up.
