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."
