Ashes 2013: 5th Test, Day 3 - Flops of the day

4. Peter Siddle (0/46 in 21 overs)

The Victorian fast bowler is also guilty of erring in line and length. Opener Joe Root got stuck into Siddle – five of his eleven boundaries came off the hapless pacer. Later in the day, Ian Bell also sent an attempted short delivery into the mid-wicket fence.

Siddle seems to be trying too hard to pick up wickets. He needs to relax and bowl accurately first up, and then make the ball talk. Not an impressive performance, old chap!
