Glenn McGrath Test Quotations

I first saw Rudolph in South Africa and I think he made a double ton against us in a tour match. He's always had that potential. He is a pretty decent player. He showed yesterday that he can bat for along time and really knuckle down and save a test match.

While Shane Warne will probably be named Test player of the year, and Brett Lee and Mike Hussey can expect to fight for the one-day player award, Ricky should earn enough votes to take home the AB Medal and become the first man to win it twice. And there couldn't be a more deserving winner this year.

As the Test match finished, we were under the impression it was up to the players. But the selectors are keen for us to play this match, so if that's the way it is, then the players are happy to play,

The Test match will be over, one way or the other, sometime tomorrow and if they get the runs it'll be fair enough.

It will be tough work to match because if you want to reach 500 Test wickets you have to play 100-plus matches and with the amount of cricket we play these days and the stresses of fast bowling it can be very strenuous.

I am not trying to think about the possibility that my tour might be over, but the next 48 hours should settle the issue once and for all, ... While I have more or less conceded it is highly unlikely I will be fit in time to play the third Test at Old Trafford, I still have my sights set firmly on the fourth Test at Trent Bridge.
