Cricket Australia anticipates potential smoke haze in Sydney's New Year's Test, but says it 'comes in quick but also goes quick'Siddle sent down two overs before play stopped inSmoke quickly engulfed Manuka Oval, dramatically reducing visibility and air quality. Veteran quick Siddle was later treated for smoke inhalation, but has since joined Australia's squad as cover for the injured Josh Hazlewood for the Boxing Day Test against New Zealand."If you sit next to a campfire, just imagine that, that's what it felt like out on the field," Siddle said.
"I'm feeling all right. It's obviously disappointing not to be able to finish the game, but at the end of the day player welfare is the main thing, and there's bigger issues going on than worrying about a cricket game."It comes as Cricket Australia prepares for smoke from bushfires to have an impact on play during Sydney's New Year's Test between Australia and New Zealand.
