We dedicate this one to McGrath

Pretty in pink Matthew Hayden and Andrew Symonds used pink grips on Boxing Day in 2006; Adam Gilchrist wore pink wicketkeeping gloves at the MCG in 2007; but the efforts to raise awareness and funds for the McGrath Foundation will be far more widespread during the third Test against South Africa at the SCG in 2009. The stumps, parts of the outfield, and players' shirts will carry the foundation's pink logo and Glenn McGrath has also urged fans to wear pink at the SCG. The third day, usually known as ladies day, has been renamed Jane McGrath day, after the former Australian fast bowler's late wife. "I thank the SCG Trust for naming the Ladies Day after Jane and who would have thought they would name something here after her and not me!" McGrath said. "It will be amazing to walk out there and see everything is pink and I am not sure how I will feel on that first day of play. Jane would have been so proud." He may not be causing whitewashes anymore but, true to form, McGrath predicted Australia to beat South Africa 3-0,
