Fast bowler Glenn McGrath has been passed fit for Australia for the fifth and final Ashes Test at the Oval tomorrow.
Australia need to win the final encounter of the summer to maintain their hold on the Ashes having won the previous eight series stretching back to 1989.
The inclusion of McGrath, who has 513 Test victims, will increase their firepower as they seek to dismiss England twice.
Had he not passed a fitness test, the Australians were considering reverting to a five-man attack, something they have been loathe to do during their decade of dominance at Test level.
