Re: The Official Cricket Thread
I can't help feeling that while Siddle appears to be the mainstay of the group at the moment, he is going to have a really harsh fall from grace the minute he shows mildly questionable form. Hilfenhaus can be such a strong new ball bowler as his proven this series, Harris is just such a complete bowler plus Pattinson and Cummins are such exciting promising talent that Siddle won't be given the chances that Johnson and Hilfenhaus both got given to try and regain their form. I don't agree with it, I think he has earned the spot but like Andy Bichel or Stuart Clark there just doesn't seem to be a really keen desire to keep him in the job. So long as he maintains his form he'll be safe ofcourse, and if the others are injured or hopelessly out of form he'll stay but otherwise I reckon it will be sudden and without a lot of warning.
