McGrath Questions England's Mentality After Australia Retain Ashes Title
The Boxing Day Test: Former Australia cricketer Glenn McGrath questioned England's approach after the visitors were handed defeat in the third Test of the Ashes series as hosts Australia on Sunday claimed the series 3-0 and defended the Ashes title. Australia stormed to an 82-run victory in the Adelaide Test, retaining the Ashes series after winning their third consecutive Test this series.
Australia already have an unbeatable 3-0 lead in the five-match series after just 11 days of cricket, matching the fastest time frame in which the Ashes have been won in the past century, following easy victories in Perth and Brisbane. England have now gone 18 Tests without a win in Australia.
"England came here with a big reputation. We heard lots about how this was their best chance to win here since 2010-11, and how this was the worst Australia team since then. No one expected Australia to be 3-0 up after three Tests. We can criticise England - and plenty of people have - but we also must give immense credit to Australia for the way they have played," McGrath wrote in a column for BBC Sport.
