Former Australia seamer Glenn McGrath says that the Baggy Greens must do all they can to turn their Ashes series around.

Glenn McGrath has warned Australia's players that they must do everything in their power to turn the Ashes series around.

England's 347-run victory at Lord's has put them 2-0 up in the five-match series and they could clinch it with a win in the third Test at Old Trafford.

Former Aussie seamer McGrath has admitted that he is disappointed with the Baggy Greens' performances so far.

"I guess it's disappointing with the way things have gone for the first two Test matches here and I'm sure they (the present team) would agree with me," he told the ECB website.

"I've been around the boys for the first two and there's a good energy and a good feeling around the team, so I'm not sure what's happening out in the middle. It's now time for them to put their hands up.

"It's tough watching because I want the boys to do well and I've got a lot of respect for the players there and I think they're good enough to be there."

The third Test begins in Manchester next Thursday.
