‘Answering the question before you ask it’: Testy Tait’s fiery exchange with Pakistan journo

A testy Pakistan bowling coach Shaun Tait was involved in a tense back and forth with journalist Shoaib Jatt after he questioned his performance during the second Test against New Zealand.

Pakistan were able to hold on for a draw in Karachi after finishing at 9-304 in their second innings, just 15 runs short of victory.

Despite the pitch being more conducive to spin, Jatt launched a stinging criticism of Pakistan’s fast bowlers and questioned Tait’s performance as their coach.

“It is not just my opinion, but it is the opinion of the entire nation of Pakistan, they think Pakistan did not bowl well, I’m talking about the fast bowlers” Jatt said.

“But I’m asking you, are you satisfied with your performances as Pakistan bowling coach?”

A frustrated Tait did not take kindly to Jatt’s statement prior to his question.

“You’re answering the question before you ask it,” Tait said.

“You are saying that is your opinion. So you are saying the performances are poor, OK that’s your opinion. What would you like me to say?

“Ask me the question? Ask me a question?”

“Are you satisfied with your performances as Pakistan bowling coach?” Jatt persisted.

“Yes, I am satisfied,” Tait replied before walking out ending the press conference abruptly.
