James Darren Siddons (born 25 April 1964) is an Australian cricketer, renowned for his involvement in Sheffield Shield first-class cricket over a 16-year career. He initially played for Victoria, and later for South Australia. He is currently a professional cricket coach and the batting coaching advisor for the Bangladesh National Cricket Team.

Playing career

[edit | edit source]

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

Coaching career

[edit | edit source]

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] Currently he is serving as the batting coach for the Bangladesh national cricket team appointed by Bangladesh Cricket Board on a primary contract of two years starting from February 2022.[7]
