4. Peter Siddle
They say the toughest task in Test cricket is to assemble a bowling lineup that can take 20 wickets. If that is true, then Australia have something to be hopeful about. The so called ‘worst Australian squad to visit England’ does boast of a potent bowling line-up. There is some fresh talent and there is the experience of old-bloke Peter Siddle.
The right-arm-bowler is a work-horse and is an asset to any leader as he will promise to run in no matter what stage of the game it is. Alan Border has tipped him to be key to Australia’s Ashes fortunes as he will play a role off the field as well as on it. He will infuse that work ethic into the bowling lineup that is required in an Ashes contest.
