Taits big backside (fitness or fatness)

And that his aerobic fitness level looks very questionable. As also I think would be his skin-fold test.

Hmmmm. Why was this thread not started after he ripped through NZ last month? And prior to all the big calls for his storming return to test cricket

The vocal section of the media insisted on Tait, and the selectors cracked.

I will say that i actually had no objections to playing Tait, and said so at the start of this thread. What i did object to was the imbalance a four pronged pace attack would bring to the team. It should have been Johnson that made way for him. Hogg would have done well on his fast, bouncy home track
