Pakistan bowling coach, Shaun Tait has been facing flak from the fans and media as the team has been bowling poorly recently. In the last five Tests, they have failed to bowl the opposition for lower totals. They have lost four of those games. Meanwhile, after the Day Four of the ongoing second Test between Pakistan and New Zealand, Tait faced flak.
During the press conference, a Pakistani journalist pointed out the poor performance of the national side’s pacer. He also went on to ask Shaun about how the latter can justify the team’s poor bowling
“Poor performances in five Test matches by Pakistani fast bowlers and inconsistent performances by the spinners. How can you justify the overall performance in this home season,” the journalist asked.
To which Tait replied by simply saying, “That’s your opinion.”
Later another journalist had a pointed about Tait himself. “It is the opinion of the entire nation of Pakistan. They think Pakistan fast bowlers did not bowl well. But I am asking you, are satisfied with your performances as Pakistan bowling coach,” said the journalist.

Yes I am satisfied with Pakistan bowling as their bowling coach: Shaun Tait
While talking with another journalist, the 2007 ODI World Cup winner rudely said that he has been satisfied with the team’s bowling.
“You are answering the question before you ask it. That is your opinion. You are saying the performances have been poor. Ok, that is your opinion, what would like me to say?” Tait replied.
This led to a bit of a back and forth at the end of which the former Australia pacer told the journalists to ask him a question instead of presenting an opinion. “The question is are you satisifed with your performance as Pakistan bowling coach,” he was then asked. “Yes I am satisfied,” replied Tait and the press conference ended.
