A star performer and one of the key reasons for Australia’s victory in the 2007 World Cup in the Caribbean, Tait is known for his express bowling. During his career, he bowled the second fastest delivery in the history of the game.

In January 2008 he took an indefinite break from the game due to physical and emotional exhaustion and focused on ODIs and T20s when he returned later that year.

The bowling action with which he used to generate that kind of pace was unsustainable in the longest format of the game and Tait soon gave Test cricket a miss to focus solely on ODIs and T20Is. Eventually, he ended his ODI career and now plays mostly T20 franchise cricket.
