McGrath predicts Warne will be more focused

Glenn McGrath, quoted in Khaleej Times Online, is predicting that his controversial team-mate Shane Warne may be even more motivated for the Ashes series after his latest sex scandal. McGrath said:

“I am not going to talk about his personal life but I can talk about the cricket side of things. Knowing Shane as I do, he has always been a very strong character with the ability to forget anything happening outside of cricket and focus totally on the game,”

In a warning to the English cricketers and the rampaging British media, McGrath said: “Given cricket will be the one constant in his life from here on, the scary thing for our opponents is that Shane may be focused even more on his game and in turn play even better cricket.”
