NEW DELHI: Australian pace legend Glenn McGrath expressed his belief that Pat Cummins, the current Australian captain, has the potential to secure an Ashes victory in England — a feat that eluded World Cup-winning captains Ricky Ponting and Michael Clarke. McGrath's remarks come as Australia heads into the second Test at Lord's with a 1-0 lead in the series.
Recalling his experience from the 2005 Ashes series, McGrath, in a recent interview with the BBC, said, "The last time a team came from behind to win the Ashes was in 2005, a series I was right in the thick of. We were 1-0 up heading into the second Test at Edgbaston. We lost a thrilling Test by two runs, but I will always maintain that the series would have been won had we got over the line that day."
