Can someone tell me what role Siddle serves in this team?

I'm so glad Marsh took wickets, now he just needs to make a score and all you ****s will be tasting it.
Pretty sure me and AT were the only ones happy with his selection
edit: and I'll reiterate what I said yesterday before the game. Why the **** do they keep picking Peter ****ing Siddle. And they've got Pattinson and Starc on the sidelines! This is absurd. The only thing I can think of is they are looking at the options of getting a draw this game and they think he'll keep it tighter than the other 2. Still doesn't make sense though.

I didn't complain about this Marsh selection, I actually wanted it too because I love the controversy/memes it generates plus hed started to grow on me the way most underachieving players do because you start to feel bad for them
Definitely didn't expect his selection would result in success though
Also would be very surprised if he scores runs, but I'd like him too

For the record, this is Marsh's 7th test vs England and he has 368 runs @ 52.57 with 2 hundreds and 12 wkts @ 26.33, so I don't know what everyone was going on about..
He obviously finds playing England easy

Then he must've bowled brilliantly on those same decks

When he came to England in 2015 he couldn't buy a run, but did bowl very handily and make some key breakthroughs. Last Ashes here in Australia he did make those two tons, but was somewhat of a nonentity with the ball. The numbers, while interesting, don't tell the full story.

The problem I've always had with Marsh is that his bowling can be quite decent but his batting has not been test standard. It's a shame because he only really needs to average 6 or 7 runs higher to be worth picking regularly. And he does have immense potential. I really wanted to see him back in the shield for a season or two racking up the runs before he got picked.

Genuinely swinging it both ways was pleasing to see. He was hitting the 130s too wasn't he? Not bad at all.
CumWood are great but they don't exactly get a lot of swing.

Hit 135 at one point

Was averaging about 85mph at one point, if I have the conversion rate correct that is about 137ish.
Deserves more than right arm medium imo

Looking forward to England being all out for 295 and Smith starting another batting masterclass after lunch with 169 to get the 2nd best series ever baby

Except he failed to take a wicket on that deck. In England he bowled well but batted poorly. In Australia he batted great but was a bit of a non-entity with the ball.

What Marsh did today makes him worthwhile enough, even allowing for his mishit batting. I'm not talking the 4 wickets either. If he can bowl a large chunk of overs economically, then he is being useful. It is when he only bowls 7 or so in an innings and then scores nothing is when he annoys.
