Glenn Mcgrath has to be the most disciplined bowler of all time, if not the best pacer. His unrelenting accuracy and stump to stump bowling paved the foundation of many Australian victories, as he holds the record of most number of test wickets by a fast bowler with 563 to his name.

Nicknamed Pigeon, Mcgrath was very poor with the bat as he averaged a meagre 7.37 throughout his career. Mcgrath made his highest test score of 61 against the Kiwis at Brisbane when hit the only six of his career off Daniel Vettori.

The reaction of Adam Gilchrist in the dressing room said it all, as everyone in the stadium went berserk on seeing the "Pigeon" hit a six.
