This was a great moment for the crowd at Waca seeing Glenn again on the pitch years after retirement. That's why the crowd was cheering and was joyous to see him bowl again. Such poetry in motion mixed with two decades of emotions. Somethings are evergreen and eternal.
@abhijitpal503 ask Sehwag, Sachin, Brendon McCullum, Kevin Peterson, Gibbs, Jayasuriya, Afridi, etc. This guy had strikes ranging from 90 to 120, in that era when pitches were neutral in Sena countries or sometimes flat in Odis, Mcgrath dismissed everyone, whether it was on the flattest wicket in Pakistan/India/Srilanka. Viru had a strike rate of 104 as an opener leave the openers of now aside, I think barely anyone at any position has that strike rate on the flat pitches.so don't even say something dumb like that. tell me who hits 4 the stump length and short of good length/length ball
@abhijitpal503 even I could pill red mcgrath/umrah with a Cosco/tennis ball on cement tracks, does that make me great? actually, there is a video on Fox Cricket about bats, the bats haven't changed much in the last 10-14 years. bats used after 2000 s were pretty good compared to what Viv or Sachin used in 90 s. Now, they use science to increase the punch of the bat. I tell you mcgrath will pill every batsman now on neutral ground or even on flat tracks,because you see his stats he did very fantastic in India and Pakistan
@abhijitpal503 Many rules favour batsmen nowadays, but McGrath is not a jack ass that he will ball loose ball, even Sehwag and Brendon McCullum used to charge at him but he dismissed them every time
Everyone consider Glenn McGrath a legend . So you are not exceptional if you think so. He is an artist and artist belongs to tha art not any nation. Equal respect for everyone.
Absolute masterclass of bowling. Absolutely spot on tips about how to increase pace and also bowl a clean line and length. That's why Glenn McGrath is my absolute favourite. Simple, deadly and accurate.
When I was very young I never understood the hype. I was all about the Brett Lee’s, Akhtar, Bond etc.. proper fast pace bowling but when I got a bit older I FULLY UNDERSTOOD!! 😐😐 Hazlewood reminds me of him.
He is the real winner and best winner i have seen in any sort of sports. I believe it was not Steve Waugh's captaincy or Australian team. I believe it was Glenn McGrath who won them all. Absolutely Optimal output from a sportsman of any sort and most attractive. very very accurate and mostly restricting every batsman. i have not got the words to describe myself. but the best performer ever in the history. yes true Wasim Akram had more knowledge what a ball does and how it does. Yes he knew little as compared to wasim but the sort of performer he was, there is not a batsman or bowler like him who has performed like that. simply amzing
Qasim Ali lol. mcrgath was a joke. he was probably greatest slow medium bowler ever. it is an insult to Holding, Lille, Thompson, Roberts to call Mcrgath a fast bowler. Viv Richards would have smashed him into bits.
abhinandhan raghu that is class. after all the bowlers you mentioned found success as they had lethal pace. McGrath even being a medium fast seam bowler found success. it is very difficult for a medium fast bowler to find success unlike a fast bowler
McGrath slow medium? Kiddo, ask Thorp, Nasser Hussain , Alec Strewart and their stitches...till 2002 he was around 140 average. Cut his pace because they had super quickies like Lee and Gillespie..
Ambrose,Waqar,Walsh,Wasim,Donald,Bishop,Schultz,Malcolm, Gough ,Patterson,McDermott ,Benjamin defined quick bowling at the time.Mcgrath sort of quietly slipped in and suddenly took over from these guys after that 95 Windies trip. He just didn't look the part,a tall,skinny medium paced line and length guy seam bowler essentially. Sure he was respected initially but not feared.How that all changed and what a class paceman he became. Justifiably in the top 20 best pacemen of the last 40 years and the 2nd best Aussie pace bowler since Lillee who was just tremendous.
he was rare of the lot as the batsmen have to play him off the surface. Always kept them guessing. Even sachin struggled against him his only choice was to attack him n set his rythm off
I played football ie an attacking midfielder or a striker basketball as a small forward and a shooting guard and Cricket a right handed batsman a medium pace bowler and a brilliant fieldier by Steve Irungu Jermaine
Dear Neville Kenyon =), I would like to say, thank you, to you, for taking the time and effort to both upload and share this video with the youtube family =). I would like to wish you a lovely, pleasant and fun day, Neville Kenyon =). Kind Regards Ray
My dear friends, I have stated this repeatedly before. Why was that overseas coach removed after we beat England 3 to 1 even after a English cricket legend claimed that we can’t bowl, field or bat! In that great match in Barbados, Holder made a double century and Dolwich , the keeper made a brilliant century! Please , can someone explain why this coach was dismissed and replaced with Simmons?
This is only an indication of the higher number of Australian Cricketers who receive training in the Australian cricket system. They are trained to do things a certain way, that is known to work. I guess in other parts of the world people spend less time under coaches and therefore develop their own style. But it must be admitted that Australia's system has performed well compared to most others over the past generation.
its good to have the ball locked in ur mind, but if the batsmen is doing his bit at the crease /dancing down the wicket, the bowler has to change his strategy on those occasions ...he forgot to mention that i guess ...he definitely changed his strategy though :)
