The Ashes: England are being too nice, would love to see more of a battle in the middle, says Glenn McGrath

Australia's legendary pacer Glenn McGrath said he would like to see a close battle in the ongoing Ashes series instead of "political correctness".

Bowling great Glenn McGrath feels that the ongoing Ashes series is lacking the required passion due to too much bromance between England and Australian players, which he largely attributed to the IPL and Big Bash. Mcgrath said that he would prefer to see a close battle in the ultimate contest instead of "political correctness".

"It can be a little bit too nice sometimes. That's the way everything's going, isn't it? There's a lot of political correctness. People are a bit nervous about being aggressive and playing hard," McGrath was quoted as saying by Syndey Morning Herald.
