Lee at 8 is OK though... better than Ok, really. If the three that followed were headed by Gillespie and Mcgrath then you'd say the tail was OK.... but Tait, Kasprowicz and MacGill is a bit questionable - maybe not as bad as Tuffers, Malcolm and Mullally but in serious need of McGrath's batting!!!

The tale I read from the county game was that Kasprowicz outbowled Tait: I'd not bet against Kasprowicz and Tait both lining up at the Oval.
