Glen McGrath Hurt At Being Overlooked; Coach Wants More Foreigners

The Delhi Daredevils may be into the semi finals of the IPL 2 in South Africa but one man in the team is unhappy. And it is perhaps an outcome of it that the coach wants changes, on the lines that John Buchanan has asked for.
Former Australian fast bowler Glen McGrath indicated that he was not willing to look as far as IPL 3, after having been benched for an entire season of IPL 2. Even after the Daredevils qualified for the semi finals, McGrath wasn’t included in a single game and it has been credit to the likes of Dirk Nannes and Ashish Nehra who have kept the big man known as “Pigeon” out of the game.
McGrath had spoken out at the beginning of the tournament that he had weighed heavily the decision to leave his two children behind with their grandparents as he came to the IPL 2 to keep his commitment despite the loss of his wife, Jane McGrath, to cancer.
Hurt by criticism over fitness, McGrath spoke about how he felt in better shape than last year and that Daredevils management need not have been so concerned.
Meanwhile Daredevils coach, Greg Shipperd, wants at least five foreigners in the playing eleven against the current IPL rules to have only four international cricketers in the final playing eleven.
But McGrath need no feel aggrieved. England’s Twenty20 captain, Paul Collingwood, has not had any match practice having missed being picked in the team as did Owais Shah, with remarks out of England suggesting that England sold out.
