Should Rajasthan have dropped Tait against Bangalore?

Question

Rajasthan dropped speedster Shaun Tait, who was replaced by Morne Morkel in the side, for this match. Was that a bad move?

Answer 1

Sure Rajasthan’s bowlers were ordinary early  - and on that basis expect to see Tait back for Rajasthan’s next match – but it was always going to be a big ask for Shane Warne’s team to defend a target of 93. Remember too there’s no Graeme Smith in their batting line-up now.

Answer 2

Yes, they did drop him and it was the right thing to do

Tait can't bat or catch, and is a liability with the ball in his hand
