6. Peter Siddle 

Peter Siddle is a fast bowler from Australia. The right-arm pacer has been a part of the Australian team from the late 2000s to the 2010s. In recent years, the emergence of Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, and Nathan Lyon has meant that Siddle does not play often for the Australian team. But in Test cricket, Siddle has a good record.  

In 67 Tests for Australia, the 38-year-old picked up 221 wickets. Siddle is the only bowler to claim a Test hat-trick on birthday. In the 2019 Ashes, Siddle played a key role in Edgbaston Test by helping Steve Smith to rescue Australia from a tricky situation. The innings of Siddle helped Australia to win at the venue for the first time in 15 years. He wore the number 10 jersey in his team.
