Tait takes 3 wickets in the over including an absolute beauty to remove Jaques. SA in with a real chance now !

Surely he must find himself in SAf test squad

Watching Gillespie bowl today convinced me his career is over. Quite seamer-friendly wicket, but you'd never know it watching Jason bowl..

well i aint seeing it but his figures dont seem to bad, if he had something like 7-0-41-0 in seamer freindly conditions then i might agree with you, but then again his domestic OD record hasn't been great this season. Its in the 4-day competition where he has been bowling well & definately should be back in the test side based on that.

Wicket is doing a lot but Bird and Heriques look very good prospects - quick and with good strong actions.

sounds good, wish i could see this game.

well after such a performance, the selectors will be watching for sure, but he'll have to really bowl well in South Australia last 2 pura cup games before the test series in SA starts before he gets the nod over either Dizzy or Kaspa.

Tait's a machine, that's 6 wickets now!

Do it yourself Taity!

 

[irfan]

OMG!!

NSW scrape home with jus 1 wicket in hand. What a bowling perfomance from Tait and Lehmann did magnificently captaining the side but they were 10 runs short i felt

Looked injured but comparing him to Tait, who was express, anyone would look military medium.

Tait's action looked better than the Ashes - interesting to see what TC says on this - and further work with the front arm will do him wonders. However, you cant train someone to have pace like his and that need to be preserved above all.

Like I said to T_C, Tait should be in the ODI World Cup squad, or at least be given an opportunity to press his claims. As Lee has shown in the last couple of years (and Tait often demonstates), early wickets in OD cricket are devastating. What's more, Tait's economy rate is only 4.9 - it's not that bad.

 

[alternative]

that was an impressive effort from South australia, after scoring a low total... but all in all.. well done to the blues..

 

[benchmark00]

How good was that! Great stuff.

 

[Haddin]

YES!!!

 

[Dydl]

YAY!

The Blues won!

 

[andyc]

Tait sure was great, not easy to take 6/41 off 12.2 overs.

 

[Jono]

Brilliant match. Henriques handled the pressure well at the end.

On a more serious note, Tait did bowl extremely well when he got it right. It was a good game to watch.

dlam right a bowler who could bowl like this has to be picked in the WC squad no question about it.

Hmm. He bowled some great wicket taking balls, no doubt, but 14 wides is simply unacceptable. Henriques could easily chase down 6 without MacGill getting himself out, but 20 would've been another story

 

[aussie]

he can surely improve on his accuracy, but what he has already is the ability to take wickets which is too good to overlook.
