5 most experienced cricketers who never captained their team

A captain's delight, a batsman's nightmare- the great Glenn McGrath

Glenn McGrath will have a page of his own if ever there was a book written on the greatest cricketers of all time. Having represented Australia in 376 matches across a career that spanned fifteen years, the New South Welshman turned out to be a captain's delight with ball in hand.

With 563 Test scalps and 380 ODI victims, 'Pigeon' was a nightmare for the batsmen of even the highest pedigree. Part of a team that scored a hat-trick of World Cup triumphs and ruled Test cricket for a decade, McGrath achieved every cricketing honour that was possible.

Just that he never ever got the opportunity to be the captain of his team. There is little doubt that if he possessed the same amount of talent as a batsman, he would have ended leading Australia for many years, a clear pointer of how our game is tilted in the favour of the batsmen.
