10 times a bowler knocked out a batsman on the pitch

5 Glenn McGrath's nasty bouncer to Peter Kirsten, Perth, 1994

Glenn McGrath

Glenn McGrath might not have been considered among the fastest bowlers in the world but he could be pretty quick when he wanted and could bowl a well directed, mean bouncer that many found tough to negotiate.

In a one-day international at Perth in 1994, South African batsman found out McGrath's abilities with the short ball on one of the quickest pitches in the world.

McGrath's short ball was extremely well directed, however, the quick Perth pitch meant that Kirsten had very little time to react to it and as he was on the move to sway away, the ball hit him crashed into his helmet. He was knocked out straightaway and staggered to the ground. Kirsten retired hurt and did not bat again in the innings.
