Aussie cricketers' strip for new calendar

Melbourne, October 21 (ANI): Nathan Bracken, Shane Watson, Mitchell Johnson, Simon Katich and Shaun Tait are set to leave women drooling after stripping off for a new calendar.

The Australian cricketers posed for the 3 Mobile Men of Cricket calendar, priced at 29.95 dollars, the second instalment of an idea to raise funds for the McGrath Foundation.

Renowned photographer and former Olympian, Simon Upton, praised the players for their spirit.

"They were right in to the spirit of the calendar, really relaxed and comfortable. We had a lot of great pictures to choose from," the Couriermail quoted him as saying.

Legendary bowler and McGrath Foundation chairman Glenn McGrath, who lost wife Jane to breast cancer, also expressed his gratitude to the sportsmen for their involvement in increasing awareness about the disease.

He said: "I'm blown away that everyone continues to offer so much support to the McGrath Foundation." (ANI)
