 I'm not sure if I'll keep my spot: Tait

Australian pacer Shaun Tait today admitted that his flop-show in the Perth Test has all but ended his chances of being selected for the fourth and final Test against India starting January 24.
"I'm not sure if I'll keep my spot here to be honest, by the look of things," Tait told 'The Advertiser'.
Tait, who was touted as a "wicket-taking machine" by skipper Ricky Ponting, came a cropper in Perth and went wicket-less besides adding to Australia's slow over-rate woes.
However, the 24-year-old remained optimistic about getting a chance in the forthcoming triangular ODI series also featuring Sri Lanka.
"We'll see how we go in the (Australia) one-day games and things coming up. Hopefully I'll get the chance to be a part of the squad there again," he said.
Tait said he lacked practice going into the Perth Test and probably would have done better with a warm-up match under his belt.
"A touch underdone, to be honest. We are professional cricketers and we are training all the time and there's probably no reason why we should be underdone," he said.
