Melbourne: The legendary Glenn McGrath on Friday hated the lack of aggression from the English player in the ongoing Abu series, said he would prefer to see tight battles in the main contest instead of “political truth”.
For McGrath, too many bromance between English and Australian players, most of whom are associated with IPL and Big Bash, taking the required passion while representing the country.
“It can sometimes be a little too good.
That’s how they go, right? There is a lot of political truth.
People are rather nervous about being aggressive and playing hard,” McGrath said like Sydney Morning said.
Bentara.
“I remember, when Nasser Hussain came here with England, they weren’t even allowed to talk to us or said ‘G’day’.” Australians have the habit of shortening words that are longer but McGrath because they see Nick’s names hover.
“Every time you hear one of the English or Australian players interviewed, they use a nickname.” Broady, Jimmy, Kez.
I asked the other day, ‘Who is Kz?’ “Oh, Alex Carey.” They are far more familiar with each other than when I play.
“England dropped 0-2 in the series but did not show whether bashing by the host caused wounds.
British players chat well with home players.” It’s all about body language.
How much does it mean, represent your country? England must return to the drawing board and have very good thoughts about this.
“” With IPL and Bash Bash, these players know each other well.
You see Batsmen and Bowler joking.
I want to see some emotions in the middle.
“McGrath is for spectacle out there in the middle.” I want it to be more than a battle.
Australia will not take their feet from the throttle, now they have Pat Cummins back.
“James Anderson seems to go down with speed, and the ball doesn’t swing.
It can be very ugly very fast.” He urged visitors to add aggression to their game and suggest that they release Mark Wood.
“If you have someone who bowling more than 150 km / hour, you want to play it as often as possible.
Ben Stokes doesn’t look good, so for him to come out at Adelaide and play the role of his age is a big question..” They need wood.
Bowler with speed it is rare.
Look at what Jofra Archer did to Australia in 2019.
Do not use quickly on the deck like Adelaide surprisingly.
Ollie Robinson will take Wickets, but he will not blow up the team, especially in Australian conditions.
“” ……
to reverse things around them must be much more aggressive.
For all of us, ash is the best.
What we want is to see a close battle.
