Picking Siddle must be a farewell teat gesture....can't think of any other reason!
Firstly, I think adjusted point 3 is correct.
Secondly, the Siddle selection assertion might be correct, it's a nothing game really and most of the Aussie squad would be flat from hangovers. So a farewell to The Ashes, given Siddle won't get a run in the Australian leg, probably!
