Graham Thorpe of Yahoo! Eurosport UK thinks so:
“Of course Australia can get by without Tait for some matches, but the prospect of him bowling 100mph at the WACA or in Brisbane is frankly irresistible.”
“The clamour for the fast bowler to play in the Ashes will increase steadily and, if Australia are brave enough to persuade him to play in the series against Pakistan, he could even be fit enough to do so.
“Tait has not played a first-class game since late 2008; but even if he could get through 15 overs at full pace, his potential impact would be well worth the drawbacks.”
And I think it’s hard to resist this decision as well. The lad simply has to stay healthy and bowl hard when called upon.
