| McGrath targets Strauss
http://www.theage.com.au/news/Cricke...230002193.html Quote:
Andrew Strauss should feel either very flattered or very afraid. England's new opening batting sensation has been singled out by Australia's eagle-eyed fast bowler, Glenn McGrath, for special treatment during the most eagerly anticipated Ashes contest in 16 years.
Strauss could be forgiven for waking in a clammy sweat to the news that McGrath is likely to target him during the Ashes, for more celebrated batsman than him - former England captain Michael Atherton, West Indies great Brian Lara and South African Gary Kirsten, to name a few - have been reduced to bunnies transfixed by McGrath's cold stare after being methodically marked before a series by Australia's veteran paceman. He has a way of getting into their minds.
