McGrath isn't the bowler he used to be along with Shane Warne because they have had many injuries over the years and their leags are just tired from all the bowling.[/QUOTE]
Actually , Pigeon and Warne think sore legs is a very small price to pay for the amount of wickets they take!
Pidge strikes me as the sort of guy who calls a spade a spade. What you see is what you get... He'll stand down when he feels his best isn't good enough to represent Australia.

Fast bowlers just don't have waht it takes at his age to maintain pace and hostility to be useful at international level against a quality batting lineup like like that of England. I can see Trescothick, Flintoff and Pietersen dominationg him again just like they did last year. Only this time he is nearly 2 years older (seems to be struggling to get close to his usual pace of mid 80's) and coming back from a serious injury.
