There is something fitting about Peter Matthew Siddle retiring today. It is of course David Boons birthday.
Siddle really was the ultimate team man, throughout his entire career when he got to do what he did best, lead the attack he averaged an incredible 17.62.
Siddle started his Test career with a bang, dismissing the great Sachin Tendulkar and he ended it fittingly, an Ashes winner, taking Buttlers wicket, his 221st.
Perhaps Spark was right. The recent Big Bash game where Siddle suffered lung discomfort may have cost him 4 years/125 test wickets.
Ill never forget the Ashes hattrick, no one will. I will always remember the twin 50s, a performance filled with fantasy and imagination. We will all remember his heart.
What next for Peter? Modelling, BBL champ, Fox Commentator, animal activist, RSPCA ambassador, wood chopper? The opportunities are endless. What a career.
