Season 9, Ep 9: On his birthday! This episode is in fact released on Peter Siddle's birthday, and on the 10th anniversary of that birthday hat-trick. The day is now one of sadness as well as celebration for him, as he has explained before. The conflicting ways that life unfolds. Pete has had an extraordinary life, and he takes us through it: from Gippsland to Mohali to Essex, the need to grow and the need to do what's right, the myths of woodchopping and bananas, the texts he gets in the middle of the night, the state of mind to take on the best, and the surprises on the way. As ever, he tells these stories with honesty and a broad smile.
