Scored 17 off 3 innings for the scorchers before this!

Quite like this story, guy brought up from grade cricket (or whatever it is in WA) due to great form, and makes an amazing Ton!

Bench warmer before this, surprised everyone today ... some of his shots reminded me of Mathew Hayden  ???

Im at the match, amazing striking, good for him.

Tait is seriously rapid, no wonder he hits so many batsmen in the head....doesnt look much fun from the stand!

Apparently in 12 FC innings he's scored 172 runs... got to love 20/20 at times

Just watched, great innings, ruined by seeing this threads title before I got in to start the sky plus! Doh

Yeah they say he was a grade cricketer, put into the squad as a left field choice, and he was about to be dropped, but they gave him one more chance due to lack of batting options.

I'd say it worked.
