2010-11
In 2009, Shaun Tait gave up first-class cricket indefinitely so he can focus on the shorter forms of the game. In the KFC Big Bash this year he picked up 8 wickets from the tournament including 3/12 against the eventual champions Victoria in their preliminary match. He led South Australia to the KFC Twenty20 Big Bash grand final and thus giving them a ticket to the Champions League. Recently in the one-off Twenty20 international against Pakistan, Tait picked up man-of-the-match figures of 3/13 off his four overs. Not only was he extremely economical, but he also bowled a 160.7 km/h delivery, which happens to be the fastest ball ever bowled on Australian soil, and the third-fastest ball ever recorded, behind only Shoaib Akhtar and Brett Lee.
As a late addition to Australia's one-day squad in 2010, he unleashed a ball against England at Lord's that registered at 161.1 km/h, the second fastest of all time.
On 13 January 2011, Tait signed for Surrey as a Twenty20 player for the 2011 season.
