Former Australian pacer Glenn McGrath is widely regarded as one of the greatest pace bowlers of all time. He was highly consistent with the ball throughout his career in all formats of the game and was a pivotal member of the invincible Australian team of early 2000's.

He took 119 wickets in 1999 across all formats from 41 matches at an average of 20.23

He is also the leading wicket-taker(in a calendar year) among the pace bowlers as the rest of the positions in this list are occupied by spin bowlers.
