Peter Siddle: From Fast Balls to Vegan Meals
Interviewer: Hey, Peter! It’s great to have you. How’s everything going on your side of the pitch?
Peter Siddle: G’day mate! Things are fantastic. Spending more time with the ball, and the vegan cooking ain’t too bad either.
Interviewer: Speaking of vegan cooking, wasn’t it quite a shift moving from a traditional Australian diet to a vegan one?
Peter Siddle: Oh, absolutely! Mate, imagine facing a 150 km/h yorker without a bat – that’s how clueless I was initially. But once I got into it, I felt fitter, faster, and surprisingly, my recovery time improved.
Interviewer: That’s impressive! Do you have a go-to vegan dish that you’d recommend?
Peter Siddle: Definitely. You can never go wrong with a good chickpea curry. Packed with protein and flavors that even make the aussie BBQ lovers consider turning green!
Interviewer: Now, let’s switch gears a bit. You’ve had some outstanding spells with the ball, especially the Ashes hat trick. Do you still replay those moments in your mind?
Peter Siddle: Oh, mate, all the time! Every cricketer has those defining moments. The Ashes hat trick on my birthday— I mean, can’t script it better. It’s all there, etched in my memory.
Interviewer: I bet. Any young bowler you’ve got your eye on, someone you think could be the next Peter Siddle?
Peter Siddle: There are a few, actually. Jhye Richardson, for one. Kid’s got fire in his belly. Reminds me of my younger days when breaking stumps was the daily mission.
Interviewer: Haha, spoken like a true fast bowler! So, what’s next for you? Coaching? Commentary?
Peter Siddle: Well, I’m keeping my options open. Coaching has always intrigued me. Passing on what I’ve learned to the next gen sounds rewarding. But hey, commentary keeps me in the game without running the laps!
Interviewer: Both sound like great paths. Last question, if you had to choose, which would it be: a five-wicket haul or a finely prepared vegan feast?
Peter Siddle: Haha, tough one! But I’d say a five-wicket haul, definitely. The thrill of it is unmatched. Although, celebrating it with a top-notch vegan feast? That’s the perfect combo, mate!
Interviewer: Spoken like a true champ. Thanks for the chat, Peter. Looking forward to seeing what you cook up next, both on and off the field!
Peter Siddle: Cheers, mate! Always a pleasure.
