Siddle, Starc take aim at Samuels
Australian pace bowlers Mitchell Starc and Peter Siddle may be sidelined due to injury, but they showed their involvement in the game by reportedly commenting on the re-ignited fiasco between Marlon Samuels and Shane Warne on Tuesday.
Samuels tore into Shane Warne at a press conference after having led West Indies to their second World Twenty20 title on Sunday.
Siddle did not seem to be too impressed with the West Indies batsman. "I enjoy it at times from blokes that perform a bit more frequently than he does," he said.
"If you look at a Chris Gayle doing it, or an Andre Russell, they probably have the performances to back it up," the pacer added.
Starc, on the other hand, was slightly more empathetic in his opinion about the Samuels reaction.
The left-arm paceman stated, "He's obviously had it on his mind for a while now. He probably hadn't shown much form until last night so he's held it in for a while and then made sure he performed on the big stage and has obviously made it count. Maybe it's off his chest now and he can just get back to his cricket."
