At least Siddle has got a wicket. Johnson hasn't done **** and is going at 5 an over for the match. On THIS ****ing wicket.

So many people group Siddle with Johnson, it's so frustrating.

Siddle has been the third best bowler, third or second best batsman and easily in the top 3 fieldsman for Australia in this Test and yet his spot gets questioned..

He's taken 1 wicket. Being the 3rd best bowler isn't hard in these circumstances. How he has only managed 1 is a mystery though.

He only bowled 4 overs when the conditions were at it's best for bowlers. Obviously.

ahahahahaha

They get compared because they have the same results - 5er, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, 5er. Same as Ponting and Kallis get compared - they average 55 odd.

Anyway, Siddle is in the team for his bowling. He gets judged on that. He's been our 3rd best bowler out of 4. That's hardly anything to boast about. But anyway, I don't think he's been bad or anything. He's just been so mediocre. And we've seen it so many times. And it's never really been punished. I can understand why he got picked for this test match. I didn't like it. I'm not shocked by this result. I don't want his papers stamped. He's got talent. But you know, he got picked on the back of 5 fc games and he's been given a gold pass since. He's 26 odd. Getting dumped for his consistent non-performance at test level isn't gonna destroy him. Same as MJ. One has to go. After the Ashes it was MJ for me. Then I changed to Siddle. Now I'm leaning back to MJ. But one has to go. So often it's left to the other seamer for Australia and it ain't healthy.
