McGrath said baseball gets talked about a lot and he is a big fan of it. "There's a lot of talk about English baseball and I'm a big fan of it. I like going out on the field and backing myself, staying positive and going into the fourth inning and playing shots freely. It's an aggressive approach," he said. Mindset is there and if you can dominate the bowlers, you can create pressure by scoring runs very fast. My prediction for the Ashes series is 5-0."
Glenn McGrath says that after winning the World Test Championship title, the Australian team will be in high spirits in the Ashes series. "It's the perfect lead-up for Australia going into the Ashes. It should have given them a lot of confidence and also got a feel for the conditions," he added.
In the final match of the World Test Championship, Australia captured the title by defeating Team India by 209 runs. The performance of the Kangaroo team in both the innings was excellent. In batting, Travis Head and Steve Smith played century innings. At the same time, the fast bowlers of the team also wreaked havoc in the title match.
