Damn I was going to start a tait thread lol!! U r quick. I was excited. Thought Shoaibs record was goner. Tait peaks and falls away. 150 isn't falling away but you get the point. In South Africa both Lee and Akhtar were 158-160 pretty consistently. They've also crossed that mark more than once. ( I think tait has done it unofficially once)

But damn he bowled quick. It's actually 160.7kph that's the fastest ever in Australia.

Thommo probably will deny Tait as well. We all know how he is with his records. Imagine if Akhtar Lee and Tait at their peaks got to bowl unlimited bouncers ouch!

Best delivery was Johnson to Naved Ul Hasan, smashed him in the middle of his chest at 150 kph.

Slightly off topic, but the same game... what bat is David Warner using? A new GN model for 2010?

[seedy]

Looks flat at the back similar to the t20 dual?

Just watched some highlights. Christ Tait did zip it through! Would be interesting to see if he could keep that going for 8 overs straight in a test match :-]
But your right, not always about pace in T20, its all about varying pace and using cutters etc...

[peplow]

talking to haddin was funny, never really liked him but he was quite a laugh, he's gone up in my estimations of him. I'm sure he'll be over the moon to hear that

if anyone wants to watch..

Ok, little bit bias being australian and all. In regards to the comment about England, SA being able to play a better game against Taits 150+ pace attack, maybe. Still pakistan are the best 20/20 team in the world. Also no mention of Nannes who bowled exceptionally well, just a little unlucky the way the pakistanis were hacking and getting away with it, but finished well and brought it how. And Steven Smith the new leggy might cause some trouble when the Poms come down under for another 5-0 bashing.

Sorry couldnt resist. Regards.

Steve Smith does look a very promising talent!

Steve Smith does look a very promising talent!

He looked superb in th Champions League

[niceonechoppy]

Yes and he did quite well yesterday, averages 40 odd with the bat in fc cricket.

[Hashim]

Mohammed Sami has also clocked over 100mph but hes did not count bcoz he did it in Pakistan.

[Howzat]

Watching that video you can see why Pakistan are not improving, all their players are having a go at each other and sulking whenever something goes wrong!

Steve Smith was being really talked up when I was in Oz, the media wanted North droped for Smith before the last test vs. Pak.

Tait was really quick. I quite like him, felt sorry for him when he had burn out

[generalcustard]

I thnk the media wanted North dropped full stop. who they put in instead is a very interesting problem, Smith can only come in to replace hauritz or take the second spinner possition when the pitch supports a 2 spinner attack. He'll have a hard time replacing hauritz after the success he had against the windies and Pakistan.
