The first day of the 2010-11 Ashes series was the Australian fast bowler Peter Siddle’s 26th birthday, and he celebrated it in unique style by slicing open England’s middle order with a high-quality hat-trick – Alastair Cook caught at slip, Matthew Prior bowled middle stump, and Stuart Broad LBW to a yorker. Siddle ended the day with 6 for 54. It was the ninth hat-trick in Ashes history and only 4th by an Australian. England were eventually all out for 260. Siddle had not played in a Test since January due to a back injury but was fit enough to carry the team on his shoulders.
