Former England batsman

They will desperately want to have him in the side, but there is some concern from Australia's point of view that he won't be up to the task.

This impacts on what kind of team they can put out. In the past, four bowlers was enough because McGrath and Shane Warne could bowl so many overs.

Now they are starting to wonder if they can rely on McGrath, who has a wonderful Ashes record, to get through all that donkey work and still be penetrative.
