Australia ground the tourists into the dirt on day three of the fifth Ashes Test by reaching 518-7 with a lead of 134.
England took three wickets in the afternoon session but, rather than letting the position slip as their opponents have during the series, Australia batted on with Steve Smith ending the day 129 not out.
"It has been a very good for Australia and that pitch was hard work but it just shows that resilience, that mental toughness that Australia have for Test cricket which England have been found wanting a little bit this series," McGrath told BBC Radio 5 Live.
"England struggled bowling out there consistently.
"Steve Smith showed what he's capable of and we've seen it before.
"If the Australians come out tomorrow and keep batting, keep piling on the runs, every run hurts for England."
