    "editor1": "<p>Melbourne, March 27 (Cricketnmore) Australian fast bowler Shaun Tait on Monday announced his retirement from international cricket due to a chronic elbow injury.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Tait, whose last appearance for the national team came in a Twenty20 international (T20I) against India in Sydney last year, said he wanted to play more cricket but the injury made him take this decision.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Tait holds the unofficial record to bowl a second-fastest delivery in international cricket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The 34-year-old bowled a 161.1km\/h thunderbolt against England in 2010 that was just 0.2 km\/hr slower than the all-time mark set by Pakistan&#39;s Shoaib Akhtar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I honestly wanted to play a couple more years, whether it was over in the UK or here. I knew it was going to be difficult getting older to compete with the young blokes. But I didn&#39;t know it was going to be as difficult as it was this year (with the Hurricanes),&quot; Tait was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/ipl-flashback-top-5-batsmen--24936\"><span style=\"color:#FF0000;\">Check:&nbsp;IPL Flashback: Top 5 Batsmen<\/span><\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Pretty much getting left out of the side or not being able to play because of my elbow, either way there&#39;s no point going on with it. I knew during the Big Bash that I was going to finish up.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;The elbow has pretty much gone off a cliff now, it&#39;s done and dusted.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I&#39;m 34 years old and I suppose when you&#39;re not contributing on the field as much as you&#39;d like to, it&#39;s time to finish up.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;It would have been nice to play another year maybe, but there&#39;s no point getting more surgery and play when I&#39;m 35 when I&#39;m probably not up to it anymore,&quot; added Tait, who made his international debut against England in Nottingham during the 2005 Ashes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Commenting on the development, Cricket Australia (CA) CEO James Sutherland said: &quot;In his prime, Shaun was the world&#39;s fastest bowler. It was incredibly exciting to watch him full flight bursting through the defences of the game&#39;s best batsmen.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Perhaps the highlight of his playing career was the instrumental role he played in the Caribbean during Australia&#39;s World Cup-winning campaign in 2007.&quot;<\/p>\r\n",
