Tait will be used in short spells : Ponting




One of the fastest bowlers in contemporary cricket, Shaun Tait, will be used in short spells, says Ponting.

Tait is injury-prone and hence will be lethal in short spells. His slinging bowling action ( does he remind one of Malinga? ) generates that extra pace for him. He is a terror with the new ball and can rip through any batting order. He swings the new ball and reverse swings the old one. He is a captain's favourite at tall times.

It is to be remembered that he was second highest wicket taker with 23 wickets in the Carribean. His speed confounded many a batsman !

"If you look back at the last World Cup as well, that was exactly how I used him... in short sharp spells." said the Aussie skipper.

"So don't be surprised if that is how we use him through this whole tournament."

It is true that Eng had not played upto their full potential, but then that will be be preserved for the knockout stages. "If we win all three matches, we'll be able to look back on one of the best (northern hemi
