Most successful bowlers for Australia across all 3 formats

Australia v Pakistan - 3rd Test: Day 5

#1 Glenn McGrath

Glenn McGrath...

He is the most successful fast bowler in the history of Australian cricket and one of the most successful in the history of the game. Glenn McGrath made his debut for Australia back in 1993 and over the next fourteen years, he played as the team's spearhead across formats. He played in only two T20 games towards the end of his career but in Tests and ODIs, he remained the team's premier bowler at a time when Australia dominated the international game.

His relentless accuracy and just the right amount of movement from the off stump made him one of the most difficult bowlers to face. In limited overs cricket, his height enabled him to extract disconcerting bounce and in addition to that, he could also bowl superb yorkers in the slog overs. McGrath played 375 international games and picked up a barely believable haul of 948 wickets, at an astonishing average of 21.75. On top of that, he had an economy rate of only 2.92 and a strike rate of 44.5. One of the greatest ever in cricket history.
