Top man. Set for the tone for this years Ashes by hanging around while England bowled Smith into form in the First Test.

When he dies they should put his heart in the National Museum alongside Phar Lap's.

Whatever it takes!!!
Excellent career. Became the best cricketer he can be and helped his teams win crucial matches/series/tournies. Will be missed. Happy retirement, m00bs.

When I first heard of him way back in the oughts I though that he was an express quick...so somehow I put him and our Kemar Roach into the same category of bowlers who were once 150 kph+.

I'm struggling to think of another Aus quick who played in five Ashes series in England.

Siddle only played in 4 series in England, didn't he? 09, 13, 15, 17

Also 2019. And was a pain in the neck at Edgbaston iirc.

Sorry, meant 19 instead of 17 (given that 17 was in Australia and not sure he was in that one) - certainly frustrated us with the bat on mroe than one occassion throughout his ashes career. Plus obviously his hat-trick

Oh yeah. Why on earth did I think they played over here in 2017? Four it is.
Mind you, I doubt whether many other Aus quicks played in four Ashes series in England. Lillee and McGrath each played in three, for instance. Ditto Lindwall and Miller. Davidson only played in two.
