Shaun Tait Wants Pakistan Pacers to Bring Back Their Fear Factor in International Cricket

Shaun Tait has been pleased with Pakistan’s bowling in the ODI tri-series, where the team has won its first two matches. The bowling coach said the pace attack and spinners have both played their part in the recent victories.

In an interview with the PCB Digital, Shaun Tait expressed confidence in the team’s bowling attack, saying they have performed well against two top oppositions in the ongoing series. He specifically highlighted the win against England, saying deflating their batting plans in Rawalpindi showcased the talent of the group.

“The bowling has been really encouraging so far. It is a great way to start the series against two quality teams with some very good players. England have a formidable batting line-up, so to bowl the way we did against them was really pleasing. We have a nice balance between pace and spin, and both departments are complementing each other really well,” said Pakistan bowling coach Shaun Tait.

The former Australia pacer was also happy to work with several of Pakistan’s fast bowlers again after previously coaching them four years ago.

“It is also pleasing for me personally because the fast-bowling group is very similar to the one I worked with when I was Pakistan’s bowling coach four years ago. Haris, Shaheen, Naseem and Faheem were all part of that group, so it is nice to link up with them again,” said Shaun Tait.

Tait then applauded the efforts of coach Mike Hesson, saying he has worked really well to keep everyone united in the team.

“Head coach Mike Hesson has managed the team really well, making sure the players have enough time away from the game and come into matches feeling fresh.” said Shaun Tait.

“There is so much cricket being played nowadays, along with the demands of training, that rest days have become extremely important. A day off today is not necessarily about tomorrow; it is about how a player feels in two weeks or even two months.” added Shaun Tait.

Talking about the upcoming match against England, Shaun Tait said that the visitors have the ability to bounce back strongly, so Pakistan need to be at their best to defeat them.

“Everyone understands what England are capable of as a white-ball team. They are among the best sides in the world and have a very strong batting line-up. The scores they are capable of putting up make it a great challenge for our bowlers.” said Shaun Tait.

“We showed in Rawalpindi that we can make things difficult for strong opposition in our own conditions, and that is what we want to continue doing against both England and Sri Lanka,” added Shaun Tait.
