Australia bowler Peter Siddle has set his sights on ruining Kevin Pietersen's 100th Test appearance for England this week in the Ashes.

The opener takes place at the Gabba in Brisbane on Thursday, and Siddle wants to take out Pietersen and captain Alastair Cook.

"That's the plan," said Siddle. "It'd be nice to have wrecked it before then. We'll see how we go.

"It's always a tough contest to play against him, a challenge. It's good fun. I've bowled alright against him, the last couple of times. [We want to] keep building that pressure, and try to make it a not very memorable last series for him - if it is his end.

"We've always targeted Cook. He's the man that opens up the batting; he's the captain and he's the one we want to put the pressure on."

Siddle has dismissed Pietersen seven times in 12 Test match meetings.
