Tait, 24, broke 160kph during his second one-day match earlier this year and believes there is more to come. "I'll try and get myself ready and see if I can get a bit quicker," he said. "There's no reason why I can't if I'm fresh.

“When I bowled that ball I was coming off a fair bit of cricket and I wasn't as fit as I'd like to be. If I can get myself fit enough there's no reason why I can't bowl a bit quicker."
