If there's one bloke you want bowling to a new bat, it's Siddle. Generally bowls the worst possible first ball to face for new batters.

Yeah... well we have been picking blokes who have done far less than that without a movement of hesitation, anyways our bowling coach has been hell bent on making sure our quicks bowl full and therefore bowlers like him are the one's needed to be worked with, rather than trying to turn deck-banging quicks into swing bowlers.

One more thing is that a swing bowler and a spin bowler are only as good as their captain, without proper support or tactics they could look pedestrian which is what happened with Hilf during the last summer like many other bowlers who played under Ponting.
Complete bs

Last year, Hilf, Siddle and MJ couldnt hit the side of a barn with a howitzer from 3 feet away - Ponting's captaincy had ****-all to do with it

At least Siddle has improved his lines this year so you can set a field for him

Hilf, unfortunately, is still all over the place

That being the case, pick the 21 year old with real potential and get rid of the guys that have failed unless they make a compelling case for reinstatement

So many decent knocks without converting from him this year.

5 50s, 1 100 in 2011, so uncharacteristic.

724 runs in 9 games @ 48.2. Not bad at all tbh by normal standards.
