This is purely an example of what disciplined line and length is. Mc grath was just a jewel of a crown at that time in Australia's team. Those were the days when nothing matters for australia neither toss, nor pitch conditions, nor target, nor opposite team, nor place, nothing .... only thing that matters for aussies at that time was that in the end they would be winners no matter whatever... There was a time when people already knew the outcome of the series before starting of that series.

@@maheshdeshmukh351 what about steyn

[@abhinavkumar547]

@@maheshdeshmukh351 whatever u said is absolutely perfect but though McGrath is my personal favourite but without being baised i have to say here that steyn was a better bowler than McGrath ignoring odi and just considering tests because test is a superior form of cricket and it judges how good u are. Coming to your point McGrath has more wickets as well as better average than steyn and strike rate dapartment goes to steyn but u have to also look here that McGrath played 124 test matches and then took 563 wickets whereas steyn played only 93 tests and took 439 so better way of looking here is to compare how much wickets did McGrath took in 93 test matches or if u want to go a bit deeper then how many test matches/innings took both McGrath and steyn to complete their 100,200,300 or 400 test wickets. Do u know this answer? And as far as sub continent region is concerned here also steyn edges McGrath as he has better record than McGrath in India, Pakistan or Sri Lanka though McGrath also has good record in these regions. So decide yourself now that Who is a better bowler between the two

[@patrickgracias5782]

Abhinav Kumar The fact that McGrath had the best batsman from every team’s number is why he’s better than Steyn (also he had way better stats). He had Tendulkar’s number, Lara’s, Inzamam’s, Vaughan’s, Kallis, Dravid and more

[@33arnie]

When Mc grath bowled Flintoff.. That look of Flintoff to Mc grath shows How Devastating that Delivery was...

[@Kfssx]

Sometimes I wonder how he takes so many wickets not putting a lot of energy in the run up not pushing it hard in the delivery just a gentle pace of 130-132 kph and still getting a lot of wickets

[@sumanthdattananaduri2133]

Just look at the ball in his hands , so small . he is tall and fit. Perfect Rhythmic action for his body structure. He doesn't need to put much energy into a delivery. With that smooth action ,when it comes out of his hands it is easily 130-135 kph. He could still generate more pace, with a little more effort.But instead he puts that effort on unwavering line and length. For example , he spots a crack on a wicket , which generates bounce and troubles batsmen. He would bowl six deliveries bang on a crack. He would take an over or two to figure out uncomfortable length to batsmen on a particular pitch.He would bowl , that length consistently with slight variations all day. Batsmen are often frustrated , tempted or confused and play a wrong shot. Also with that height , he gets a natural bounce. Batsmen have got better of him in one dayers sometimes , but in tests it was hard to dominate him.

Fantastic spell of fast bowling by Glenn McGrath World cup champion player of 1999,2003,2007

[@jameswilson1984]

McGrath was an absolute freak. Undoubtably the best test match seam bowler ever. He wasn’t particularly fast nor did he swing the ball a heck of a lot either but his accuracy was incredible, would hit around the top of off stump over and over and over again. That England team went into that ashes series in searing form, the previous few summers they seemed to win easily and Andrew Flintoff usually took man of the series. In this match the look on Vaughan and Flintoff’s faces after their dismissal summed it all up tho. They knew they were now in with a serious opponent and the standard of play during the rest of that series was incredible from both sides. Great memories for me, it was a great summer that year. Probably one of the best summers of sport ever along with the summer of Euro 96.
