SYDNEY: 'If the Australian cricketers repeat the performance in South Africa in the last test series and may improve in a couple of areas, they will win the Ashes cricket series against England 5-0.'This statement was claimed by former Australian fast bowler Glen McGrath to The Australian newspaper.
The Ashes Cricket series is scheduled to begin from Wednesday. McGrath also made a prediction for the 2005 series in England which the hosts won 2-1 against expectations. The former speedster is working with Australian fast bowlers for the Ashes. England's first Ashes series win was in 2005 since Australia reclaimed the old urn under Allan Border in 1989.
Though few gamblers would back an Australian cleansweep this year, McGrath said he is not being silly and his forecast is solidly based. ``My prediction is it will be 5-0 to Australia,'' McGrath said. ``I've got total confidence in the boys, especially watching the way they played in South Africa in the last test series. ``I thought that would have given them a lot of confidence. They showed what they can do and the huge potential that they've got.
