When will McGrath go?

Malcolm Conn writes in The Australian about Glenn McGrath’s last summer of international cricket.

McGrath, 36, hopes to continue playing one-day cricket to the end of the World Cup in the Caribbean next March and April. However, he is no certainty to be part of Australia's World Cup defence, with one member of Australia's hierarchy yesterday saying: "If he makes it."

However, Trevor Marshallsea writes in the Sydney Morning Herald McGrath has given up on his dream to play at the World Cup.

While his lanky, and remarkably resilient, body have allowed him to become Australia's most durable paceman - and the third-most experienced of all time with 122 Tests behind him - other forces have finally led McGrath to call time on his career. He at least has the deserved honour of leaving on his own terms.
