For the love of the game

Siddle is/was an absolutely quality player. Not only for what he does with the ball, but his passion and drive, filled the team. I can guarantee than some international batsman are quite pleased though.

True

In the world of complicated showmanship, a rural Victorian played the sport for the love of it. Sport does not have many like Peter Siddle any more nor will it have it.

Thank you for the memories

Go well Peter Siddle. Beyond big wickets at big moments, and his obvious dedication, he made those around him better w/ partnership bowling and constant, nagging pressure. 221 Test wickets deserves respect. You don’t have to be a great to achieve something great.

My most enduring memory of Peter Siddle will always be him in absolute bits after bowling himself into the ground at Adelaide Oval in 2012 trying in vain to roll South Africa. A legend with a heart the size of the Ponsford Stand, what an asset he’s been to Australian cricket.
