Shaun Tait Embroiled In A Heated Debate With Pakistani Journalists

Pakistan vs New Zealand Test: In the last few weeks, the performance of Pakistani fast bowlers has not been that good. At least not as much as his reputation in the cricket world. The absence of Shaheen Shah Afridi has played a big role in the poor performance of Pakistan's bowling unit. Apart from this, questions have also been raised on the performance of Pakistan Bowling Coach Shaun Tait. When Tait addressed the media after the fourth day of the second Test (PAK vs NZ 2nd Test) against New Zealand in Karachi, a heated argument broke out with the journalists.

A journalist described the performance of the Pakistani pacers as "poor". He asked the former Australian bowler (Shaun Tait) how the way the bowling unit has performed in the last 5 Tests can be justified.

The journalist said, "Pakistani fast bowlers have shown poor performance in five Tests and spinners have shown inconsistent performance. How can you justify this overall performance in the home season."

Another journalist then asked about his plans to manage the fast bowlers in the absence of a player like Shaheen Shah Afridi, Tait replied: "I don't think it is possible to play all three formats consistently. There is too much cricket. We are aware of that, so it is going to be an important year for Pakistan, with some big tournaments at the end of it. Management of the fast bowlers will be important."

Amidst these questions, another journalist also insisted that 'whole of Pakistan' feels that the bowling unit is not performing well.

The journalist said, "This is the opinion of the entire country of Pakistan. Everyone feels that Pakistan's fast bowlers did not bowl well. But I am asking you, satisfied with your performance as Pakistan's bowling coach."

Tait replied, "You're answering the question before asking it. That's your opinion. You're saying the performance has been poor. Well, that's your opinion, what do I say about that?"

Former Australia fast bowler (Shaun Tait) when asked, "The question is whether you are satisfied with your performance as Pakistan's bowling coach."

He replied, "Yes, I am satisfied."

The press conference ended with Tet's answer.
