“I am a little bit nervous to be honest as it has been so long since I played,” McGrath said. He also added “I haven’t played in the US before, so it should be good fun.”We have gone out and had a look at Citi Field and it is a pretty amazing place.”In a baseball field normally used by Major League Baseball team, the New York Mets, McGrath coached his teammates on Friday. Locals also gathered to have a look at the cricketing stars. It is more or less known that the batting team will dominate over the balling team in the small stadium of Citi Field, however McGrath is hoping a change from his fellow bowlers.
“We were at training yesterday and the guys middled some and didn’t (middle) others and they all seemed to go for six. “It’s going to be tough for the bowlers, as per usual.” The 45 years old cricketer didn’t have a lot of fun and neither he had any kind of sightseeing, as he was busy trying to trace his luggage he had lost on his flight from Australia. McGrath confess to be frustrated in the beginning, as he had lost his bag and was without belongings, in a foreign land. “I have been trying to track down my bag as it has all gone missing with all my clothes,” he said.
