Glenn McGrath reckons Australia will seal Ashes whitewash
Former Australia bowler taunts England ahead of series opener at Sophia Gardens on Wednesday, by stating Aussies will thrash England 5-0
7 July 2009
GLENN McGRATH has taunted England on the eve of the Ashes after claiming Australia will smash Andrew Strauss's men 5-0 this summer.
The former Aussie paceman famously made the same prediction four years ago before being left with egg on his face after England came from behind to claim a famous 2-1 victory.
But the 39-year-old, who retired in 2007 following the whitewash of England down under, says the current Australia team are more than good enough to pull off a similar result this time around.
"I've got total confidence in the boys, especially watching the way they played in South Africa in the last Test series," he said.
"That would have given them a lot of confidence and they showed what they can do and the huge potential that they've got.
"If they can do the same here and maybe even improve in one or two areas, they will do really well and probably win 5-0."
