Loading ...How fit is “fit”? 100%, 99% or 75% etc. It´s a hell of an ask for a 35 year old to come back from injury, having hardly played for a month and be the great hope of a struggling team. If anyone Mcgrath can!
Could be the highlight of a great career.
Glenn Mcgrath will play at The Oval
By Will 5 years ago, at the start of September Add your comment below
Old news and I’m sure you’ve heard by now that Glenn Mcgrath will play at The Oval tomorrow. With him playing, and Jones out, suddenly the game takes on a different feel. Whoever England choose (Anderson or Collingwood), I can’t help feeling both will be used in a defensive role. Time for Harmison, in particular, to really get nasty and bowl like the wind…win the toss and bat first, please Michael!

Jonathan Agnew (on BBC website) makes a very intesting point about the Collingwood/Andersen debate
“This adds further to my belief that Paul Collingwood will step in and, although some people have said that it is a defensive move, I feel that would be the right decision.
“When a team contains four fast bowlers and a spinner, one of the seamers rarely bowls more than 10 overs a day.
“With Giles likely to bowl long spells, and we might also see Vaughan in action with his off-spin, it seems unnecessary to play Anderson when Collingwood could easily fill in, score runs and field brilliantly, too”

Funny enough a lot has been said about Simon Jones’s impact in the series but do you guys realize he was average in the first two Tests (6 wickets @ 35 and 4.25 an over!!!).
In the Third Test he moped the tail and really game to the party only in the 4th Test!
But I guess he has created the pressure with Reverse-swing and all…
