Australian cricket bowlers Shaun Tait and Dan Cullen have taken the chance to sit beside Pirtek Rally Team's Michael Guest during the shakedown for this weekend's Rally South Australia. Â Tait who bowls at speeds of 160 km/h enjoyed the experience of sitting in the Super 2000 Ford Fiesta rally car. Â "Incredible car control, it's definitely a skill" said Tait. Â "I was impressed at many levels. The driving, the car and the professional team behind it all. Â "I grew up in the Adelaide Hills not too far from where we had the run at Mount Crawford. I now have a better appreciation for why this event is so popular. Â "I'm pretty happy with my career choice with cricket, but I'd like to give driving a go some day." Â Cullen was impressed with the ride and amazed at how hard a co-driver has to work. Â "I just went for a ride, but it must be an amazing trust that the driver has with the navigator," said Cullen. Â "Michael was very committed through blind corners and over crests. He clearly knew the road, but over a 200-kilometre event the work of the co-driver must be critical. Â "I really enjoyed the experience. I made sure that the boys have my name down for next year." Â Michael Guest was thrilled to have two young stars of Australian cricket in the passenger's seat.
