Siddle ruled out of Perth Test, McKay to make debut | Injured Australian pacer Peter Siddle has been ruled out of the third Test against the West Indies starting at the WACA Ground on Wednesday. Team physiotherapist Alex
Kontouris said Siddle pulled up stiff after a long bowling stint in the nets on
Monday. A sore hamstring had troubled him during the recent drawn second Test
in Adelaide . Siddle's absence opens the way for fellow Victorian quick Clint
McKay to make his Test debut against the West Indies . In other news, Kontouris
said off-spinner Nathan Hauritz has hurt his finger during a fielding drill. McKay,
26, will join two-Test newcomer Doug Bollinger in a highly inexperienced pace
attack led by Mitchell Johnson. All-rounder Shane Watson dismissed any injury
doubts by bowling a considerable amount of overs in the nets today and will no
doubt be used as the fourth pace option. McKay made his one-day international
debut for Australia against India last month and was selected ahead of Stuart
Clark for the second Test in Adelaide when Ben Hilfenhaus was ruled out. |
