Glenn McGrath...

...should keep his bloody mouth shut. But he cannot resist shooting his gob off, whether it's predicting a 5-0 greenwash, threatening to rip Sarwan's throat off, or calling Monty Panesar "ridiculous" and "soft" as he has done today. Monty's crime is to prepare himself for Australia by seeing a psychologist. The man, McGrath, is a great bowler. No-one would doubt that. But he will be one of those players remembered around the world with respect, rather than affection or love, such is his belief that the world really wants to hear his ignorance. England fans saluted Steve Waugh on his retirement and Shane Warne last year. But who, apart from Australia fans, will really be sorry when Glenn McGrath retires? A great player, but not a great ambassador for the game.
