#3 Glenn McGrath's venomous spell against Pakistan

After hammering the Zimbabwe team in summer of 2003 at their own backyard, the Aussies took on Pakistan in the following summer.

Pakistan were a set a daunting target of 564 runs in the first Test. What transpired later was an incredible spell from Australia’s go-to fast bowler, Glenn McGrath. The combination of an irrepressible McGrath and a bouncy WACA wicket proved too lethal for Pakistan.

McGrath bowled 16 continuous overs picking up eight wickets for 24 runs. The Pakistani batsmen had no clue against McGrath’s pace and bounce and were eventually bundled out for just 72.

This spell from McGrath had definitely erased his patchy record at this venue. At 34, in the year 2004, he had announced to the cricketing World of why he is still best in the business.
