Australia's greatest ODI XI of all time

#11 Glenn McGrath

Glenn McGrath

Glenn McGrath’s metronomic accuracy made his a great bowler in all formats of the game. It was very difficult to score off him and batsmen often gave away their wickets out of frustration caused by his excellent control over line and length. He could also generate seam movement off the surface and made thing even more difficult for the batsmen.

McGrath was a member of 3 World Cup winning teams for Australia. He also was the highest wicket-taker in the 2007 World Cup, his last tournament for the Aussies. He very rarely bowled loose deliveries and almost never gave the batsman any leeway.

McGrath took 381 wickets in 250 ODIs for Australia at an average of 22. He also had a great economy rate of 3.88 in ODIs. He was a very good fielder as well but remained quite ordinary as a batsman throughout his career.
