10 best players of all time from New South Wales

#6 Glenn McGrath

McGrath made the step up to the senior team after just eight first-class matches

In a career spanning over 14 years, Glenn McGrath inspired an entire generation. He ripped apart most of the formidable batting sides in the world and became a vital cog in an all-time great Australian side.

After playing just eight First-class matches for New South Wales, McGrath made his debut at the age of 23 against New Zealand at Perth in 1993, which was followed by his ODI debut against South Africa at the MCG.

Two years later, in 1995, McGrath was leading Australia's pace attack, claiming 17 wickets on the tour of West Indies.

In the 1997 Ashes, McGrath and his partner in crime Shane Warne wreaked havoc. The lanky pacer destroyed England by taking eight for 38 at Lord's.

Later that year, he bagged 26 wickets and was declared the Player of the Series in the ICC World Cup, as Australia were crowned the world champions.

In January 2013, McGrath was inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame.

Known as 'Pigeon', McGrath forged a brilliant career before retiring as the most successful fast bowler with 563 Test wickets.
