Tait played just three Tests in his career
Tait was one of the fastest bowlers to have played Test cricket. He was expected to run through the Indian batting line up in the Perth Test in the year 2008 when he was named in the Australian squad. India were 2-0 down in the 4 match Test series and the pacy pitch at Perth was expected to assist Tait.

However, the Indian batting lineup managed to unsettle Tait. The fast bowler from Adelaide went wicketless in the Test, conceding 92 runs in 21 overs. India went on the win the Perth Test and Tait was so disturbed with his performance that he announced an indefinite break from Test cricket after the Perth Test.
The Perth Test was the last of the career of Tait and the temporary retirement from Test cricket ended a promising career considering the talent Tait possessed.
