not in the ashes. he should be blooded in sooner rather than later while hes still got people like mcgrath and gillespie around so he can be taught like lee has been. but at the moment the bigger questions is who they will leave out. not wether tait should be brought in.

I would love to see shaun tait in the team, so that we can smack him to all parts of the country.

i would love to see Tait in so he can smack the whole England teams helmets with his Lee type pace.

excactly. why would you debut someone totally untested in the biggest match since the world cup? i think this is a pretty stupid thread to be honest. australia are deciding between gillespie and kasperwicz and then lee and mcgrath, nothing to do with tate
