Warne online

Pitch looks tailor-made for McGrath, was the way that Shane Warne spoke of Edgbaston less than 24 hours before the McGrath incident in his TimesOnline column Speaking of his own preparation he had this to say:

As far as my bowling goes, I’m in good shape after working with Terry Jenner before Lord’s. The shape, drift and spin were there. I’ve been fiddling with a few different grips and I even sent down a new ball at Lord’s. I don’t think anybody spotted it, but if I’m confident, I might give it another go here. Watch this space.
