Shaun Tait

Shaun Tait Biography:

Shaun William Tait (born 22 February 1983 in Bedford Park, Adelaide, South Australia) is a professional Australian cricketer. Tait plays domestic cricket for South Australia and is also a representative for Australia at Test, One Day International and Twenty20 International level. He is a right arm fast bowler. Tait's delivery action is unique and marked by significant lateral twisting of the spine. The 'slingy' nature of his action has led to comparisons with former Australian fast bowler Jeff Thomson. Dubbed \"The Wild Thing\", Tait is considered one of the fastest bowlers in the world and delivers the ball with phenomenal speed, at around 150 km/h, and occasionally faster. One delivery was measured at 160 km/h in an One Day International on 4 February 2007 against New Zealand. Despite his speed, Tait has often been described as \"erratic\" and is capable of bowling many extras. His unpredictability, however, is seen as a weapon to some, and his exceptional strike rate seems to confirm this. Tait has also been criticised as \"expensive\", however others have mentioned that this is irrelevant, as his main role as a \"strike bowler\" is to take wickets rather than keep the run rate down.
