Bichel does, but the selectors are never going to take him. Dizzy is reasonable economical, i would put in the the same class as players like Tait & Lee for leaking runs though (lastest Ashes tour excluded!!)

Well bowled Shaun Tait. What a nightmare he must be to face. One ball you need a pool cue to reach and the next one has ripped out your leg stump..just ask Simmons who was nowhere near either of the two Tait yorkers he faced. The ball that got Jaques was an absolute ripper and certainly intimidated the Blues batsmen in the final. He fully deserved his man of the match award but I fear he might have upset the sponsors with a Nathan Buckleyesque acceptance of his award, a bit of work needs to be done there young man.

Dizzy didn't look that part so yet another bad call by REB. Get this Tait fellow on the plane now but try and teach him some control because International batsmen will prove much harder to intimidate than guys like Thornley, Krejza and Simmons. Long format of the game only at this stage for Tait..unleash him on some of those Currie Cup teams and see how he goes.

Oh yeah....GO BLUES!!

regards,

REB
