there was a thread, disproving siddons batting "achievements" of scoring 200+ half the time. i decided to check it out for myself.
the interesting thing is that siddons' current stats are a fair improvement over whatmore's entire tenure:
batting record against G8 teams under whatmore's 4 years:

batting record under siddons so far:

batting record under whatmore (last 2 years):

our best period was whatmore's last 2 years, also our winningest period. but siddons is not far behind in batting average, and in run rate is actually far better.
