Australia's next Ashes goal will be winning in England in 2027, says Glenn McGrath.
The former Australian fast bowler believes his team has the quality and depth to win the series in their own backyard for the first time since 2001.
McGrath praises the current Australia side, saying they have a "great team" with players like Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc and Nathan Lyon. He also commends Travis Head, who has been promoted to opener and is putting in exceptional performances.
Meanwhile, McGrath believes England need to rethink their approach to cricket after being beaten by Australia in the series. The former fast bowler thinks that while there were positives for England, such as Josh Tongue's performance with the new ball, they lacked mental toughness and resilience against pressure.
McGrath's prediction is unlikely to be met with skepticism, given his track record of predicting Ashes whitewashes. However, he does acknowledge that England have made significant progress in recent years and will not go down without a fight.
For Australia, winning the series in 2027 would be a major milestone and another chapter in their dominance over English cricket. With a talented young team at their disposal, they are well-placed to achieve this goal and cement their status as one of the greatest teams in Ashes history.

or risk getting left behind! McGrath's point about England lacking resilience under pressure is spot on 
. Australia's depth & quality are no joke, they've got the talent & experience to back it up 
. Travis Head's performances as opener have been fire 
(2005 & 2010-11). And let's not forget, McGrath's predictions aren't always accurate 
... still, it's worth considering the Aussies' chances. What do you think? 
๏ธ. That's a big gap to bridge! Here's a graph of how run rate has changed for both teams over the years 
. Can England close that gap?
. I'm excited to see how it all plays out though! 
They've definitely got the depth and talent to take on England and come out on top. I mean, Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood are like two peas in a pod when it comes to dominating with the ball. And Travis Head is just on fire at the moment! 
As for England, they need to work on their mental game if they want to take down the Aussies again. McGrath's right, they've made some great progress but they still need to step up their pressure and resilience. I'm not buying into Glenn's "Ashes whitewash" prediction just yet, though - these series are always so unpredictable! 
Australia's got a solid squad but can't just rely on raw talent alone. England's still gonna put up a fight and it'll be interesting to see how Aussie tactics play out in a home series... maybe McGrath's got the magic formula?
they've been working hard on their game and its paying off! Travis Head is absolutely crushing it as an opener 
& the fast bowlers are looking unstoppable too! Nathan Lyon, Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood are the real deal 
meanwhile england need to step up their mental game if they wanna take down australia 
like england needs to step up their game if they wanna take down australia again
Every year, it's like "this is our year" and then what happens? England always manages to find a way to scrape together a draw or a win. And don't even get me started on how bloated the Ashes series has become - 5 tests in 6 days? It's exhausting just thinking about it 
.
. England need to up their mental toughness 
or they'll be in for a tough ride 
. I'm rooting for Australia to win the series at home in 2027 
! It'd be a major milestone & cement their status as one of the all-time greats 
. Travis Head's been crushing it at the top of the order 
! As for England, McGrath thinks they need to step up their game 
. Mental toughness is key 
, or else they'll be left in the dust 
. It's gonna be a wild ride in 2027 
, and I'm here for it! 
. I mean, Cummins and Starc can give any team a hard time with their pace and accuracy 
๏ธ. And Head's been on fire at the top of the order 
... I don't want to jinx anything, but maybe McGrath is being too optimistic 
... still, Australia has a solid squad, so we'll see what happens in 2027 
As for England, they've been making some great progress, but McGrath's right that they need to step up their mental game 
. At the same time, I'm not convinced it'll be a whitewash... England have been improving, and they've got some decent bowlers too, like Tongue 
.
josh hazlewood is like the real deal 
travis head is opening up and killing it 
๏ธ
I'm loving the aussie squad atm 
2001 was a long time ago 
so let's see how it all plays out 
! I mean, McGrath's got a point, they've got an incredible team with talented guys like Cummins and Starc 
. Travis Head's promotion to opener is a genius move, he's been on fire lately 
.
! They're already well-placed to make it happen, so fingers crossed, mate! 
. I'm thinking of getting a new color scheme and maybe some funky patterns on the walls... what do you guys think? Do you have any favorite interior design styles or should I just go with something classic and boring 
. And, omg, have you seen that new coffee shop downtown? Their flat white is literally to die for 
๏ธ!
. Australia's got the talent and the team dynamic is fire
