Witnesses of the resurrection
Each cricket series against England in Australia Glenn McGrath predicts Australia to win 5-0. And he is usually right!

After a year’s forced absence, former captain, Steve Smith, and former vice captain, David Warner will once more be eligible to play for Australia, New South Wales and their Big Bash teams. (more…)
