Top 5 Test bowlers with most wickets in winning cause

#3 Glenn McGrath - 414 wickets from 84 Tests

McGrath's relentless accuracy helped him contribute decisively to Australia's fortunes

Possessing immaculate control over line and length, Glenn McGrath ruthlessly preyed on the technique as well as temperament of supposedly world-class batsmen right throughout his extremely productive career. Forming one half of a fruitful seam and spin partnership with Shane Warne, the right-armer was instrumental in Australia's dominant run of form during the late 90s and early 2000s.

As many as 84 of McGrath's 124 Tests were won by Australia. In those matches, he picked up 414 wickets at a brilliant average of 19.19 and stellar strike-rate of 47.7 with 18 five-wicket hauls as well as three ten-wicket match hauls. Perhaps, his most memorable spell in winning cause was the demolition of Pakistan at Perth in 2004. The visiting batsmen had no clue on how to handle his steep bounce and were shot out for just 72 runs in their second innings.
