Glenn McGrath Predicts Bold 5-0 Ashes Sweep for Australia | Sports-Games

AUSTRALIA, AUG 7 – McGrath cites Australia's strong bowling lineup and home conditions as key factors in predicting a 5-0 Ashes whitewash against England, who have not won a Test in Australia since 2010-11.

  • Ahead of the 2025-26 Ashes, McGrath predicted Australia will whitewash England 5-0 when the series begins on 21 November.
  • Given England's long drought in Australia, McGrath cites Australia’s bowling quartet and home conditions as key advantages.
  • A total of 73 Ashes series have taken place, with Australia leading on 34 wins and England holding 32 series victories.
  • Amid the Ashes build-up, McGrath's prediction of a 5-0 whitewash echoes a tradition despite its rarity, including before the 2023 series that ended in a 2-2 draw.
  • Looking ahead to the tour, McGrath highlighted `this series will be a big one for Root` and identified Joe Root and Harry Brook as key dangermen.
