McGrath to play

By Scott 2 years ago, at the start of February Leave a comment on this post

Glenn McGrath is likely to play in today’s ODI against South Africa in Sydney. The future of the Australian fast bowler in the short term though is very doubtful, as his wife is once again battling with cancer.

It seems likely that McGrath will be available to play in the Second final as well, which will be played at Sydney, but that he’s not able to travel for the immediate future.

I would hazard a guess that McGrath was told to play by his wife Jane, who would be hating the impact that her battle with cancer is having on her husband. I wish them both well. Even though this is a cricket blog, there are actually more important things in life. Not many, but this is one of them.

UPDATE- Ugh, me wrong. McGrath’s a late scratching. Good luck mate!

    Let me be straight about this - I love Oz and the Aussies - except when they are playing England at cricket or rugby, when they are then the dregs of the earth. Nevertheless, I hope McGrath plays and wish his wife Jane a speedy and full recovery. And I pray that the punters and sledgers respect this.

    I wish Jane and Glenn well too, not sure though that I subscribe to Wraye’s “I love the Aussies except when they are playing England at whatever” theory, I like the Aussies when they lose, except when Lleyton Hewitt is playing.

    no offence meant, but Zany, I just love the Aussies best when they lose, especially in the Ashes ;)

    BTW, Mrs McGrath is English. And not a huge cricket fan.

    When she first started dating McGrath, she was unaware that McGrath was a Test cricketer, having no interest in the game whatsoever until then.
