Cricket icon Glenn McGrath has once again stirred up the cricketing world with his latest prediction, suggesting a 5-0 triumph for Australia in the forthcoming Ashes series. The much-anticipated face-off kicks off on November 21 in Perth, where McGrath believes England will struggle against Australia's resilient bowling attack led by Pat Cummins.
Drawing on England's 2-2 series draw with India, McGrath's confidence in Australia stems from the formidable home conditions favoring bowlers like Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, and spin specialist Nathan Lyon. "It'll be interesting to see if England can even win a Test," McGrath remarked, highlighting England's unfavorable record Down Under.
Australia's last series victory was a convincing 4-0 during England's 2021-22 tour. Despite concerns over Australia's top-order form, McGrath sees England's challenge in combatting Joe Root and Harry Brook as pivotal. Coach Brendon McCullum's fearless strategy will be tested in this legendary cricketing rivalry.
