Just woken up to all this.

Great performance from Siddle of coruse, but looking at cricinfo's commentary, there's been some pretty soft dismissals afaics. Being positive's all well and good, some of the dismissals smack of brainlesness for mine.

****'s sake. Don't ****ing waste the review you idiots - yes it's missing off and leg but it's also smashing the middle of middle.

I have been up all night to watch this and yes, Siddle's bowled well, but we're pissing it all up the wall right about now. Starts, failures to convert, inability to keep bat straight, and now ****ing hiding from a passing shower.

(y) Siddle, wag. Making an otherwise miserable day (friggin flu) awesome.

Mitch looking poor, but meh, he'll be back.

Quite a few of them yes. The 2nd and 3rd balls of the hatrick were purely bowler's wickets though. Pretty tough to keep leg-stump, middle-stump yorkers first up.

Was very sceptical about Siddle, but happy to have egg on my face. Still think leaving out Bolly if he was fit was a shocker though. Hilf and Johnson should be fighting for a place now, although neither deserve it for Adelaide.

Test cricket is so ****ing good. Sanga has declared at 387/9 against WI BTW.

Peter Siddle, what a guy. Have to give kudos to the selectors too; I criticised them roundly but they've backed their man and he's provided the goods.

Also seriously ****ing annoyed; I got back home about 5 minutes too late and missed seeing the hattrick live. Absolutely fuming.
