Uh, and someone doing that, and we might come to his old ball work in a moment to show his versatility, it's such a great thing for Australian cricket maybe that he's had this time away from the game, so it might well extend his career two or three years longer than otherwise would've been the case.

That was certainly how it played out for Peter Siddle when he had a spate of injuries at around the same time that Hazlewood did.

And if Australia can keep Hazlewood on the park for most of these nine months, they're gonna be so much more likely to achieve what they're desperate to achieve, which is success away from home wherever they go against other big test playing nations and another world test championship victory as well.

Well, I'm gonna extend the band analogy, not talk about death, but talk about, uh, you know, u- using that analogy and describe Josh Hazlewood's spell today.

Uh, went on a few...

Well, my first series, um, we went over to England and got to play with the likes of Ryan Harris and, and Peter Siddle and James Pattinson, so-

They said, "Where, where's breakfast?" And I said, "Oh, the same place it's been for the last four days."

[laughs]

I mean, I remember they just give Australia, you know, they just give Australians crap all day.

I remember the terrible time they used to give Peter Siddle waving bras at him when he had man boobs.

Do you remember that? They just show up.

That was actually a group of medical students who showed up one day on the hill.

They'd come all day just to give it to Peter Siddle because they reckon he had man boobs.

That last series that we played there, which is now eight years ago because we missed the previous test series because of COVID, was the ugliest test ever.

series I have ever seen.

Yeah.

He did an entire, he did an entire intro around the 2003, brilliant 2003 film, "24 Hour Party People" at some point or another, and linked it to Peter Siddle somehow.

I'm like- It's meant to be.

I think Hilfenhaus was picked as a bowler more than than Peter Siddle was.

Yeah, but can he bowl with the new ball?

He played an outrageous on drive that gets me up and about.

There's also an Ian Bell cover drive off Peter Siddle, which is gone.

At the SCG?

Yeah.
