Glenn McGrath Hits Back at Michael Vaughan Over Ashes Jibe

Glenn McGrath Hits Back at Michael Vaughan Over Ashes Jibe
World Sports · 12:43:22 - Friday, 13 November 2026

Former Australia fast bowler Glenn McGrath has responded to comments from former England captain Michael Vaughan regarding the Ashes series, stating that "no one would go 5-0 for that series to wind them up."

The exchange highlights ongoing banter between the two cricket legends ahead of the upcoming Ashes contest. McGrath's remark appears to reference a potential 5-0 whitewash, dismissing the idea that such a result would be engineered for provocation.

Vaughan, known for his provocative media presence, had previously made comments suggesting Australia might be motivated to deliver a heavy defeat. McGrath, who was part of Australia's dominant Ashes teams in the early 2000s, countered with his characteristic directness.

The Ashes, one of cricket's most historic rivalries, continues to generate intense debate among former players and pundits ahead of the next series.
