Starts tomorrow (thursday) night. Again I can't wait.
If they pick Michael Kasprowicz I'll be pissed. But news this morning they may have top pick both.
Hopefully its nothing though.
The pitch is again however being doctored into a pacemans paradise according to the groundsmen. Which means any thoughts of playing MacGill are now gone.

"Glenn McGrath has emerged as an injury doubt for the fourth Test at Trent Bridge, after experiencing pain in his right elbow. The problem arose during Australia's practice session on Tuesday, and he was sent for a scan.
Errol Alcott, the team physiotherapist, said that the situation would be monitored for the next 36 hours. "He will continue to be treated and assessed," said Alcott, "and a further update on his fitness will be provided in due course."
McGrath missed the second Test at Edgbaston with an ankle injury after treading on a stray cricket ball, and though he was passed fit ahead of the third match at Old Trafford, he was not at his incisive best.
With the series tied at one apiece, however, McGrath's absence would be a huge blow to Australia, who are already debating whether to play Michael Kasprowicz or Shaun Tait in place of the ineffectual Jason Gillespie. According to a radio station in Sydney, Tait is the likely replacement, but if McGrath's injury proves to be serious, then a new debate will arise.
Hopefully its nothing though.
