McGrath injured – doubt for second Test
By Will 5 years ago, at the start of August Add your comment below
Glenn McGrath has been injured in a warm-up session and is a doubt for the second Test…starting in an hour. More when I get it.
09.49, he’s out of the second Test, Kasper replacing him.

This might sound stupid but I’d rather McGrath plays. I want us to beat Australia’s best XI and a victory against a McGrath-less Australia, although very pleasing, wouldn’t have quite the same resonance.

just saw it, he looked in a lot of pain. evens up things a little, I know….but I am not too happy with the laughter emanating from the english camp (and I dont mean you wraye)….I doubt if anyone was luaghing when Jones fell in Brisbane a couple of years ago…..

mark i know what you mean, when i heard vaughan was injured i told my mate that i wanted him to play. Not giving the opisistions excuses if they lose also has something to do with it, with me anyway. plus it’s not as good cricket when the best aren’t out there
