On 23 November 1997 he broke David Hookes' Shield run record of 9,364, going on to make 10,643 runs in 146 games. He is now the third highest run-scorer in the Shield's history, behind Darren Lehmann and Jamie Cox.[1] He is considered by some to be one of the finest batsmen in Shield competition not to receive a regular international spot, having been given just one opportunity to represent Australia in a One Day International (ODI), in 1988, scoring 32. Siddons was selected as a reserve for the 1987 Cricket World Cup.[2]

Siddons also played two games for the Sydney Swans Australian rules football club in 1984.[3]

On 28 October 2007 Siddons was named the coach of the Bangladesh national cricket team.[4] He left Bangladesh when his contract expired after the end of the 2011 World Cup, in which the team failed to qualify for the quarter-finals.[5] In June 2011, he was appointed as coach of the Wellington Firebirds in New Zealand.[6]
