Thats about right DSOTM. You cant give someone who averages 60 with the ball a good score!
Its a bit like giving Bopara a 7 and saying he was unlucky because he got a couple of good balls and was unlucky he hit the ball to fielders who could catch.

Ultimatley Sidebottom has shown he lacks penetration at test level againt the better teams and in future he will be best used as a back up for Hoggard.
