" Shipperd told the IPL's official website. "It is difficult and embarrassing for me to go to Glenn McGrath and say 'Sorry mate we haven't picked you in the team'."

Quote from Greg Shipperd, the Delhi coach about his wish to have five international players in the sides

http://content.cricinfo.com/ipl2009/con ... 05508.html

A couple of quotes from McGrath, who has not yet played in the IPL, with Dirk Nannes prefered throughout

"It has been hard to be a part of the bench, and I was hoping for a game during the league stage"

"I have asked a couple of people about why I was not being played, and I get the sense that they were worried about my fitness. I feel fitter than I did last year, but I guess I will not get a chance to prove that now."

"I am contracted for another year with Delhi, but that is a long way away. Right now, I would not bet on myself returning."
