Australian pacer, Peter Siddle, has eyed the second half of the domestic season to get in fighting shape for a tough trip to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750.
The spearhead of the Aussie bowling attack is not part of the limited-overs setup, and further does not hold a Big Bash contract, which means that the upcoming final Test against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 will be his last wearing a baggy green this home summer.
While most of his teammates will take the field in the shorter version, Siddle has set sights on his own training regime, which in turn will help him remain fresh for the sub-continent trip next month, where his side will be aiming to overhaul the Men in Blue.
"I'll just go home now and have a mini pre-season which is going to be a good thing leading into India," Siddle said.
He has further eyed the remaining Sheffield Shield competition as his way to get some red-ball practice under his belt. Following the conclusion of the Big Bash League, the players will again take part in the four-day matches, with Victoria kick-starting their season by travelling to Adelaide on January 24, where they take on http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Australia-c844.
“…with some good weather around, I'll be able to get my bowling up with the Vics in Melbourne so I'll be all right to go looking forward to India. It'll be hard work but that's the fun of Test cricket."
Siddle has arguably established himself as the premier pacer for the national team, due his never-say-die attitude. Despite Cricket http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Thomas-George-Burrows-c93472he longer version.
However, it wasn’t that easy sailing for Siddle early on, before a practical assessment done by former bowling coach http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Craig-John-McDermott-c51704 last year in Sri Lanka forced him to work hard on his game; the benefits of which he has reaped this term.
"Last year I benefited from all that work I put in and actually concentrating a bit harder on what I had to do to be a professional cricketer and play at the highest level. Sometimes those little hiccups along the way sometimes do help."
