Cricket News: “Pakistan send me to press conferences when we lose badly” – Shaun Tait | Shaun Tait causes stir in press conference

Pakistan’s bowling coach Shaun Tait hastily hit out at the team-management in the post-match press conference of their defeat in the sixth T20I vs England at the Gadaffi Stadium on Friday. “When we lose badly… they send me when we get beaten badly,” Tait said as his comment seemed to cause instant discomfort to the media moderator of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) next to him.

The moderator instantly switched off the microphone and appeared to have a quick talk with Tait. He reportedly seemed to tell the 39-year-old that his statements might cause a stir on social media, as it did eventually. Earlier, it was Shadab Khan had come for the press-conference after Pakistan won the fifth T20I of the series on Wednesday. However, Tait reflect fairly well on the team’s performance after his initial outburst.

Phil Salt’s 88 off 41 deliveries powered England to chase down 170 runs in merely 14.3 overs at the loss of two wickets.

“They just attacked us. They came out attacking, every ball they tried to hit a boundary. It worked for the first three overs and, in some way, it put our bowlers off guard a little bit. We didn’t do a lot wrong and it was just great batting. Sometimes you have got to give it to the batting team,” the former Australian fast bowler was quoted in a report by the Indian Express.

Pakistan lose series at home to England

The injury-ridden English lineup reinvigorated towards the fag end of the series as they notched consecutive victories in the last couple of games to seal the series 4-3. Dawid Malan bagged 77 runs to take England to a total of 209/3, which they defended with ease in the final game of the series on Sunday.

The Moeen Ali-led side will walk back with a lot of confidence from this series considering that they managed to outclass a strong Pakistani unit in their own backyard despite being 3-2 down after five games of the series.
