McGrath tips Australia to win Ashes series 5-0

SYDNEY - Fast-bowling great Glenn McGrath has again tipped Australia to regain the Ashes with a 5-0 whitewash agaisnt England.

“I couldn’t have more faith in the boys. We had a Twenty20 loss to Sri Lanka on Sunday, but those matches are unpredictable. I think we’ll bounce back and win all Tests. They’ll be close, but I’m tipping a 5-0 whitewash,” The Age and the Herald Sun quoted McGrath, as saying.

McGrath famously tipped a 5-0 sweep before the 2005 Ashes series, which England won 2-1.

McGrath said he was unlikely to be at the Boxing Day Test, and would spend time with his children and fiancee Sara Leonardi.

The McGrath Foundation’s High Tea at the ‘G will be hosted by Lee Furlong on December 27.

“The Sydney Test match is a big one for us too, so I’ll be there and we’ll also hopefully be cheering on a good win,” McGrath said. (ANI)
