With the 40 over mark upon us it is clear to see that Peter Siddle has taken today’s play by storm proving his place upon Australia’s finest within the early stages of the test so far; gaining the respect of the Aussie following who’s chants of “Siddle, Siddle, Siddle” have prominantly and proudly reverberated around the stands already.

Cutting Jonathan Trott short by 2 runs to reach half a century helped this specialist right-arm fast bowler to show his determination to deliver this Test. It will be interesting to see how England deal with such a professional adversary.
