Media Roundup

Here is a round up of today's papers and selected websites. I've given up on doing the Glen McGrath interview, couldn't be bothered.

From Todays Telegraph:

Determined not to be beaten for pace in Thursday's first Test, the Australians will this week unveil a new look to their seam attack.

Derek Pringle looks at the dynasty left by Allan Border, the last Australian captain to lose the Ashes:

'...greatness has been hard won and can be traced directly to Allan Border, the 'Captain Grumpy' who created a dynasty when he replaced mid-80s mediocrity with fight and passion.'

On BBC Sport John Embury comments that '...this is the best England side for 25 years'.

The Independent is reporting that 'Australia fear Flintoff'

Adam Gilchrist is insisting that he will carry on his personal crusade in the Ashes and will walk if he is out.

The Canberra Times ignores the hype and poses some flaws in the Australian game.

The Australian Advertiser highlights concerns with the form of Michael Clarke:

'AUSTRALIAN batsman Michael Clarke has been taken aside for a private pep talk in a bid to boost his confidence for the Ashes series.'

That's all for now, happy reading.
