A star that shone brightly for a few years. Like they say, it’s better to burn out than to fade away. Thank you, Shaun Tait. In your pomp, you were an absolute treat to watch.
Could have been managed better by CA me thinks. Rightly they had to try him in tests, but should have been quickly re-aligned as a precious commodity for ODI's and T20's and told to maintain his speed and swing for those formats. 95mph with a hint of swing is absolute gold dust, and CA squandered it. He wasnt like Shane Bond with the perennial bad luck of injury.
It's a fact of life that Jeff T, Micheal Holding, Andy Roberts and Devon Malcolm all crossed the 100mph barrier long before Akhtar, Tait, Lee and Mitch Johnson.

I went to a state list A final in 2004/05 where South Australia got rolled for 140 odd. Tait made it a contest by getting 6/40, bowled with vicious heat, NSW limped to the target 7 or 8 down. He was hit and miss but Tait’s best was unbelievable.
Always exhilarating seeing the Wild Thing do his thing. WHOOSH 🔥🔥 Shame injuries shortened his international career, he deserved more for what he put. That had to have been some of the fastest spells seen in England 👏👏👏

His speed was more than Shoaib Akhtar in a Row , Shoaib Akhtar only delivery was fattest one during world cup 2003 against England and Nick Knight was the batsman who had faced that bowl was 161.6 but Shoaib Akhtar couldn't have bowl that speed continuously like Shaun Tait Because Shaun Tait had a big advantage due to his body structure Bcoz his upper body was longer than his lower body , that's was Shaun Tait was different than Shoaib Akhtar
The kind of bowler who used to run in wanting to bowl fast every ball. A fellow Aussie player said about him "In State cricket batsmen were frightened of him. He once yorked someone and the ball hit the foot, blood was seeping through the batsman's sock" That's how scary fast this guy was! It's such a shame his career was affected by injuries due to his 'mixed' bowling action. Thank you Shaun Tait for the memories. You were a treat to watch in your pomp!
I'm no expert on the biomechanics of bowling so I will try to explain the best I can. In bowling you have 2 types of action. The front on action, chest facing towards the batsman , or the side on slingy action , where the chest is facing more towards the umpire at delivery stride. When you are bowling front on your top and bottom half of the body should be aligned. So if your chest is facing the batsman and your toes towards the umpire it's going to cause a lot of stress on the body. The same applies to the side on slingy action. If the top half of your body isn't aligned with the bottom it's going to cause injuries. This is just my opinion, but I think although Shaun Tait had a slingy release his action was neither front or side on. He suffered from injuries in his career, mainly knee, because of this. Look at the longevity of some of the greatest fast bowlers James Anderson Glenn McGrath Courtney Walsh All smooth, fluid, front on bowlers.
COLLINGWOOD IS LEGEND. HE IS THE BEST ALLROUNDER ALONG SIDE FREDDIE, AND HE HAS PLAYED WASIM WAQAR DONALD AMBROSE LEE AKHTAR ETC. SO OBVIOUSLY HE'LL PLAY TAIT WAY BETTER. DON'T UNDERESTIMATE HIS SKILLS BY THE WAY HE GOT BOWLED, IT WAS HIS JUDGEMENT ERROR THAT HE STEPPED DOWN THE PITCH. 😊
@@Gamerr_Cr7 Tell me a single time Kohli faced an actual 160+ kph fast bowler like akhter , lee , bond , Tait etc You ipl kids believe 140 kph is real speed lol😂
Met Shaun Tait at a bar in Mumbai once. We chatted for a while. I used to bowl at university an asked him how he bowled so quick. He said he just could. I took a photo with him and put an arm around his shoulder. Bloke was built like an absolute rock.
Crowd did not react in his first 3 overs. Or even when he hit 100mph They were all stunned. If you have never been to an international cricket match and watched a quality fast bowler clock 95+mph consistently in an over- you don’t know what you’re missing! That’s why they were silent. The crowd was taking in how special this is and were stunned at same time.
You are just over imagining things. Without the speed being shown on the screen, humans eye can't tell the difference between a 150kmph and 160kmph cricket ball. And that crowd is used to 150 plus bowling.
@@harifedererlol wold is also a 95mph bowler but twit can bowl 100 mph and wood Can’t do it Yet ,you are bitter cause Aussies are he fastest bowlers ever seen in the game
@@harifedererwood is nowhere as quick as Tait !! Wood is only consistent for 2 overs after that his speed drops where as Tait is bowling over 95mph consistently
To be able to bowl 95+ mph at all is rare. To be able to sustain it is unheard of. The only English bowler in modern times (colour TV) who could do both was actually Devon Malcolm. Like Tait, he was a big, strong boy. Sadly, he played in some awful teams and was treated abysmally.
Good heat from Tait. The second and third outswingers on the vid were sensational to right hand bat at 96 and 97 mph. Then 2:03 there are two perfect balls to lefties at 95 and 97 mph. That ball to Strauss was a cracker. Beautiful bowling at that pace. The other highlight is 5:31. Greatest fieldsman i've ever seen still doing it at 35yo. Yardy can at least tell the grand kiddies how he faced guys like Tait. Collingwood digs out a 98mph yorker first ball and it goes for 3 !!! Great video. Cheers.
I recall watching Tait bowl under lights at the MCG against South Africa. I felt genuinely frightened for the batsmen. He hit AB DeVilliers so hard he fell over on his stumps. Scary pace.
Shaun 'the Wild Thing' Tate at his best could be lethal... unplayable. He could sometimes be a bit erratic though control wise.. Still - he was a joy to watch when he was 'on'. Imagine The Wild Thing with Glen McGrath's control.😲 Now thats a scary thought!
Oh man, I cant believe how these batsmen face 95+ mph bowls that are swinging too. Respect.

Yes agreed , but most of his high speed balls are worst deliveries, like wide or not good in line and length
