Top 10 Australian bowlers of all time

#2. Glenn McGrath

McGrath ended with 563 Test wickets in 243 innings and 380 wickets in 247 ODI innings

Glenn McGrath demonstrated the effectiveness of accuracy and patience in cricket. His habit of bowling in the same channel over after over without losing steam, tormented batsmen across the world.

The Aussie bowler's height allowed him to generate awkward bounce while his smooth action injected speed. This combination coupled with his temperament and the skill to read the pitch quickly made McGrath successful in all conditions and on all surfaces.

His sheer genius lied in his ability to trouble even the best of the batsmen. Brian Lara and Sachin Tendulkar, the top two batsmen of that era have spoken highly about the pace bowler's abilities.

McGrath became the first pace bowler to reach 500 Test wickets and played a vital role in Australia's several successful Ashes campaigns and in other Test series wins. He was the leading wicket-taker in the 2007 World Cup and is Australia's best pace bowler ever.

He ended with 563 Test wickets in 243 innings and 380 wickets in 247 ODI innings. His economy rate of 3.87 in ODIs is highly impressive and he also gave less than 22 runs for the every wicket he picked.
