Best Test XI of the 21st century

Australia v England - Fifth Test: Day 3

9. Glenn McGrath

1st Test Match - Australia v England

If you think that test matches are won by swing and raw pace, think again. Glenn McGrath showed everyone that matches are also won by accuracy. As simple as fast bowling can be, McGrath took wickets only by maintaining the line and length. By the end of his career and he had 563 wickets to his name, the most by any fast bowler till date.

Nicknamed the pigeon for his long legs, McGrath tore apart almost every quality opposition batting line up he faced against in his career. He had a maintained a good fitness over the course of his exquisite career for Australia and was the first fast bowler from his country to play 100 test matches.
