BREAKING Peter Siddle has announced his retirement from international cricket. MORE:
Peter Siddle took an Ashes hat-trick on his birthday, claimed Sachin Tendulkar as his first international wicket and helped Australia retain the Ashes in the UK for the first time since 2001.Siddle announced his retirement from international cricket on Sunday morning ahead of play, bringing to an end a 67-Test career that spanned 11 years. He savours all 67 of those Tests, having pushed himself to his very limits to the dream of a kid who “wasn’t super talented” into a reality.
“Just being able to play, to walk out, wear the baggy green – I’d watched guys like Punter , Steve Waugh, you, guys like that wear it, represent Australia. While he was not always the first name on the team sheet, Siddle was as reliable as they came whenever called upon, becoming the workhorse of the side and climbing as high as third on the Test bowling rankings in 2012.“As a young kid, I dreamt of playing cricket for Australia. It’s easy to say, everyone probably does it but I wanted to fulfil it.
