Debut: against India at Mohali, October 17, 2008Siddle, who was in the squad for the Boxing Day Test
A tireless pace bowler from rural Victoria, Siddle made his debut against India in Mohali back in 2008, and went on to take 221 Test wickets in 67 Tests for Australia. "I'd been chatting to [Tim Paine] and [Justin Langer] through that series, and I could have [retired] after that. But the chance of maybe getting to play again at home, it would have been nice, but I can be content."As a young kid, I wasn't super talented.
