GLENN McGrath's eagerly awaited New Road debut was delayed today when the wet weather delayed the start to Worcestershire's opening county championship Division Two match with Glamorgan.
The Aussie pace-ace and his new team-mates were left to watch groundstaff carry out extensive mopping up operations following heavy prolonged rain.
Pools of water lay on the outfield and prospect of play looked bleak. An inspection was not planned until early afternoon.
It has been a miserable start to the season which began with a rain-ravaged Benson & Hedges Cup campaign.
Yesterday, rain prevented any play on the opening day of Worcestershire's second eleven championship game against Lancashire at Old Trafford.
