#2 Siddle's splendid hat-trick

First Test - Australia v England: Day One
Siddle celebrates the wicket of Stuart Broad

In the 2010 series, England had made a solid start to reach 197/4 before Peter Siddle provided Australia with a vital breakthrough by getting rid of the in-form Alastair Cook.

Matt Prior was castled in his very first delivery. Stuart Broad strode out to the middle. Even as the crowd got into the action, the seamer was adjudged leg-before wicket to a full in-swinging yorker from Siddle. The right-arm fast bowler became only the ninth bowler to pick up a hat-trick in the Ashes.
