Ryan Jay Sidebottom (born 15 January 1978) is a former England international cricketer who played domestic cricket for Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire and then retired in 2017 after taking more than 1,000 wickets.
He was the only player in the United Kingdom to win 5 county championships (as of 2017) and also won the 2010 ICC World Twenty2020 with England.
Sidebottom played his first Test match against Pakistan in 2001 but failed to take a wicket and was barred for six years.
Following Matthew Hoggard's injury, he was brought back to the side in 2007 and took four wickets in his first innings.
He went on to become a regular bowler for England over the next two years, but he was forced to leave Test duty in 2009.
After playing 22 Tests for England and winning the 2010 ICC World Twenty20, he came home on September 20, 2010, retiring from international service. In his 11th Test cricket match for England against New Zealand, he took his third five-wicket haul in the same series, breaking the previous record for an Englishman in New Zealand on March 23, 2008.
He is a former King James' Grammar School student in Almondbury, Huddersfield.
He has two children, a daughter, Indiana Nell, and a son, Darley Jack, with his first wife Kate.
Madeleine, his fiancee, now lives with him.
Arnie Sidebottom's father, Arnie Sidebottom, was also a cricketer, and he was active in cricket and against Australia in 1985.
Career
Sidebottom began playing for Kirkburton Cricket Club as a youth. In 1997, he made his Yorkshire debut. The winner of the NBC Denis Compton Award two years running (in 1999 and 2000) finished as the country's top English-bowler, conceding only 12.5 runs for each of his 24 wickets and winning the Cricket Writers' Club's accolade of the Year. Sidebottom's 2000 season was marred by injuries, but the West Indies with England A had a record of 16.81 runs. In lieu of Matthew Hoggard, he made his international debut against Pakistan in the summer. In October 2001, he competed in two ODIs against Zimbabwe.
Sidebottom left Yorkshire at the end of the 2003 season to join Nottinghamshire, having taken 163 wickets for Yorkshire at an average of 25.12. In both the 2005 and 2006 seasons, he took 50 wickets at Nottinghamshire, leading them to the County Championship Championships in 2005. In total, he has won five County Championships; he triumphed the award with Yorkshire in 2001, 2014, and 2015 after returning to the county of his birth and with Nottinghamshire in 2005 and 2010.
He has a flamboyant hairstyle that has resulted in the dressing room's nickname "Sexual Chocolate." Sidebottom's long hair led to his second name, "Stringfellow," after a hapless Henry Blofeld had consistently confused him with long-haired nightclub impresario Peter Stringfellow during the first Test match against New Zealand in 2008.
Sidebottom revealed on February 22, 2017 that he would be retiring from first-class cricket in all forms, beginning at the 2017 County Championships. He now runs a Cricket Academy and Foundation.
On March 14, 2018, Sidebottom was appointed bowling consultant for Surrey.
Sidebottom appeared on Dancing on Ice with professional skater Brandee Malto in 2019. In Week 7, Sidebottom and Danson were suspended following a skate-off against Melody Thornton and Jane Danson.
His international career is now behind him, but he will gain a lot of satisfaction not only from his demeanor in which he took his second chance in international cricket but also in the way he has devoted himself with skill and determination to a long career with Yorkshire, the county of his birth.
International Test career
When England took on Pakistan, Sidebottom made his international Test debut at Lord's in May 2001. England batted first, 391 runs out of order, and Pakistan made 203 and 179 in response, with the away side losing by an innings and 9 runs. Sidebottom had four with the bat and ended with figures of 0–38 and 0–26.
Following Matthew Hoggard's injury in the first Test of the series, Sidebottom had to wait another six years before being recalled to play in the England team's second Test in May 2007. Chris Gayle, trapped leg before wicket, was his first Test victim, and Daren Ganga, Dwayne Bravo, and Corey Collymore followed him shortly, with figures of 4–42. The West Indies continued to flourish, and Sidebottom once more impressed, taking the wickets of four of the top order batsmen, who finished with 4–44. The hosts eventually won by a record innings and 283 runs.
Sidebottom scored 23 over the two innings and finished with match figures of 3–101 as England defeated by 60 runs in the third Test. In the West Indies' first innings, he took his first international five wicket haul during the series, finishing with 5–88, then bowled fifteen overs for 40 runs, with no apology, as the hosts won by 7 wickets and wrapped up a 3–0 series win.
Sidebottom was included in the England squad against India in the second 2007 summer series after those excellent performances. He impressed again in the first Test, taking 4–65 as India faltered to 201. As the match came to a draw, he followed that in the second innings with 2–42, leaving England just one wicket away from victory. Sidebottom finished 1–75 (at an economy of 2.08) and 0–23 as England slumped to a seven wicket loss in the second Test. However, he was deemed extremely unlucky only to finish with one wicket after he collected copious amounts of swing and frightened a number of batsmen. "One wicket in the first innings did not do his outstanding bowling justice," Ashley Giles said. As he began to establish himself as a reliable and reliable number 9, he also made 18* and 25* with the bat.
Sidebottom bowled a controlled 32 overs for 93 runs in the last Test of the summer and the third of the series against India, defeating Dinesh Karthik as the visitors gathered 664. However, he suffered himself and did not bowl another ball in the match. Although batting, he fell for 2 in the first innings and was 3* at the end of the second as the hosts held out for a draw. This could not prevent India from winning by a single point in a 1 – 0 series.
During the tour of Sri Lanka, Sidebottom had an up-down sequence. In five Tests, he took 12 wickets in five crickets in five matches, but in Test matches, he lost five wickets in three tests at a disappointing average of 63.60. Sri Lanka won the Test series 1–0, while England defeated the One Day Series 3–2.
Sidebottom accompanied the England team on their tour of New Zealand. He took six wickets in a season average of 34.16, behind only Stuart Broad's eight wickets at 25.75. He did not make a difference with the bat, but after scoring six runs in total and averaging just three, he was greatly overshadowed by fellow bowler Broad's average of 52.00.
Sidebottom took two wickets in the first Test match of the England bowlers on the first day. The first innings came to an end on Day 2, Sidebottom taking 4 wickets in total and 2 wickets from the last 2 balls of the innings. Despite missing out on a hat-trick in the first ball of the second innings (after yetting Jeetan Patel to edge his shot to Andrew Strauss and then cleaning Chris Martin for a duck), the trick was his first in two years in New Zealand's second innings. With the last ball of his ninth over, dismissing Stephen Fleming (also caught by Alastair Cook) and Jacob Oram (lbw) with the first two balls of his tenth over. With Oram's dismissal of two wickets in an England Test match, he also claimed his second five wicket haul in an England Test match, and after he went on to dismiss Kyle Mills and Daniel Vettori, he became his first Test match ten wicket match in a ten wicket match.
Sidebottom continued to take another two five wickets in each Test of the series, with one five-for in the first innings of the third Test, beating the previous record for an England bowler in New Zealand. ESPNCricinfo named him as the Best Test Bowling Performance of 2008 for his spell. After the final Test, as a result of his outstanding form within the series, he was named Man of the Match and Series for his second stint, taking 24 wickets to double Monty Panesar and Chris Martin's two best efforts of both 11 wickets.
He was ranked sixth on the ICC Test Bowling Rankings, the highest ranking English bowler for 5 years, thanks to his success in the above-mentioned series. He was selected by the International Test XI for his 2008 appearances. He was involved in a controversial encounter on June 25th, colliding with New Zealand batsman Elliot in a 50 over match. He was then left out of the second Test against New Zealand.
On September 20, 2010, he retired from international cricket. Sidebottom said, "I look back on my international experience, I have achieved more than I ever imagined." I have had a wonderful time with England. Just a few of the highlights from winning the Twenty20 World Cup in the West Indies, including my Test debut at Lords, a Test hat trick against New Zealand, and a Man of the Series award are just a few of the highlights."
