Retired Australian bowling great Shane Warne has slammed New Zealand's questioning of Shaun Tait's action, saying the Kiwis are scared of him.
  
It was revealed yesterday New Zealand's cricketers have privately queried whether Tait is a "chucker", and Black Caps skipper Daniel Vettori and coach John Bracewell have both refused to publicly endorse the fast bowler's action.
  
The furore comes after Tait's destructive four-over spell, including two wickets from his first four deliveries, during Tuesday night's Twenty20 clash in Perth.
  
But Warne went into bat for Tait today, accusing Bracewell of raising the topic to unsettle the South Australian.
  
"He's played World Cups and everything and no-one's questioned him," Warne told Melbourne radio station SEN today.
  
"They got absolutely embarrassed the other night in the Twenty20 game. To me, half their players look scared of Shaun Tait.
  
"It's just John Bracewell being a stirrer. I think he's throwing that out there just to try and upset him (Tait)."
 
Warne also said he did not think the day-night Test matches floated by Cricket Australia this week could work.
  
CA believes cricket could grab a four-fold increase in television ratings by playing Tests in prime time, and chief executive James Sutherland said he wanted to trial the concept
within the decade.
  
But Warne said the issues of how to cope with a deteriorating white ball under floodlights, and changing light conditions in the early evening meant the idea was a good idea but the problem you'll have is the ball.

There's so many issues with that and bowling your overs, you might finish at midnight," he said.
  
"When it turns from light to dark that's when it's the hardest - when the lights don't fully take effect.
  
"I don't think it will get off the ground."
