Glenn McGrath drops in

Glenn McGrath, who joined the ABC Sport commentators from India, where he’s commentating on this series, is still running the Pink Test from afar for the McGrath Foundation. The aim this year is to raise $1m for breast cancer support and education, and place Breast Care Nurses in communities across Australia.

They’ve reached about half that target already, with all the complications of diminished crowd sizes at the SCG due to coronavirus.

And of course McGrath was asked about the state of this series.

“I thought at the start of the series the bowling was going to dominate, and whoever adapted, batting wise, would win.

“I was a little surprised with our batsmen in the second test, they weren’t very proactive, they were more about defence and survival.

“I’d like to see our batsmen come out and attack a bit more.”

On comparisons between Australia’s current attack and the great bowling line-up of McGrath’s era

“I’ve always been impressed with the batting unit Australia have had for quite some time.

“There’s just no weak link there.”
