    Oh wtf? Such bullshit. Last night I changed my team and took out Hauritz, Bollinger and Cook and put in Doherty, Siddle and Katich. It didn't change them though.

    Prior's a better bat than Haddin and it's not really going to reward the fact that Haddin's a conclusively better keeper.

    I just listened to the hype, and believed Siddle wouldn't play, so never even thought about picking him.

    Nobody bother announcing he wasn't going to be as shit as usual.

    Man, I used to think Siddle was over-rated, but the reaction to him being picked has led me to believe the opposite. He's a good bowler. He's not as good as Bollinger and he's not the most consistent player ever yet, but he's a damn good bowler, as he showed today.

    well to be honest, we will have to wait and see how the Aussies bat, then we can get a true gauge of how everyone is doing. But i will take any lead i can get !

    He's capable of bowling like a damn good bowler, that doesn't make him a damn good bowler.
    Michael Clarke took 6/9 once. I'm not saying this is a fluke or anything like that, but one stellar innings isn't going to change my mind.
    He got spanked at home by Pakistan and West Indies IIRC and had a fair enough time over here.
    He's better than average but pretty meh.

    I don't even think he should be in the team tbh. He's a good bowler though, and probably got a bit under-rated after the rightful rage at the selectors for leaving Bollinger out.

    He was hit a touch against the Windies, but his series against Pakistan wasn't all that bad. He was a bit ineffective, but it wasn't a horror series. He definitely not in our top 3 quicks in the country, but I think you're underrating him a bit. He was good in England last Ashes series, and bloody terrific against the Saffers. So far he hasn't really had a blemish on his Test cricket record as far as I'm concerned.

    West Indies... 3 wickets @ 71
    4 wickets at 44 against India

    As I said, he did ok over here and did well in SA (albeit across 3 matches 2 years ago).
    Pakistan are really quite bad, so you'd hope he could've averaged < 31 against them as well.

    His record isn't woeful by any stretch, I just don't think he's that good.

    Yeah, I agree. He isn't that good, and definitely isn't all that talented. I just think you're underrating him a touch. He hasn't be spectacular - well until today I guess, and possibly that spell 5/20 odd in England - but he hasn't had a really bad series yet, and maybe that says something. Maybe not, I dunno. It just seems to me that he is dealing really well with the extra pressures of Test cricket, and as a result is having success at the highest level.

    Yeah that series does have to go down as a really bad series.
