Although it is the T20 season right now, after the conclusion of IPL 2023, it will be the start of an interesting season of Test matches. While the WTC final will happen first, it would be the Ashes that will follow. On that note, here, we take a look at how Twitter reacted as Glenn McGrath yet again predicted Australia to win the upcoming Ashes 5-0.
An interesting series for the fans
In the last few Ashes, we have seen either one of the teams being in good form coming into the tournament. In the last edition, the English squad was in poor touch. They just could not do well against the Aussies, who were extremely dominant at home. However, the situation is different right now.
While Australia has reached the WTC Finals and is in strong form, England has been winning games across the globe, thanks to the new approach under the management of Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum. Nowadays, Test games are going down to the wire and that is giving good entertainment. With the Ashes on the line, if we witness such close games, it will just be the rise of Test cricket again.
One more subplot will be to see if England’s new approach can tackle the pressure of the Ashes. Australia is a tough opponent with probably one of the best pace attacks in the format. If England can do well against the Aussies, it will be a big boost for them going forward.

Glenn McGrath has often predicted Australia to win the Ashes and even his prediction about the margin of winning is always similar. Hence, when he yet again came out with the same prediction, there were a lot of reactions on Twitter. We take a look at some of them below:
Even if it's a 4 match series McGrath will make 5-0 prediction. https://t.co/y067qz9q8F

People losing their minds at this don’t realise that it’s tongue in cheek from McGrath at this stage. Until 2010 you could take it seriously but now he’s just winding England fans up. https://t.co/HmVfdh9TT1

Aussies of 2000s so used to sweeping shit that they'd say 5-0 if someone asked for their coffee order at Starbucks. https://t.co/K2F18DXCjJ

I like the new touch he has given to his usual 5-0 prediction with "every game is going to go right down to the wire,with Australia just getting over the line in every Test" 😭😭 https://t.co/heylYBxoVB
