He is one of the Talented Paceman the Australian side have who is ready to produce the best for his team. The one who is never afraid about the oppositions brand and can create a Havoc in the opposition. Yeah, I am talking about Glen Mcgrath, who has really bounced back every time and ready to serve for his team in the different forms of the cricket. He is one of the hot favourites in the Pace bowling for his maintainance of discipline and the length in bowling.
When you consider the Australian pace attack he is the one known for the true grit, determination and the will to win at any cost. After that he started his reign of opening the bowling for Australia, he has become one more bone to the Aussies pace attack. Since, He has been a reputed and gifted player for his side. He is doing an excellent job for his side by demolishing the opponents batting order and picking up the wickets through breakthroughs anytime their side needed.
Mcgrath is a true professional who settles more than a glory each time he goes to the field to bowl. One thing very special about him is the recovery from any point of time sometimes when he is hitted with more runs by the batsmen . He is a ''Deadly Customer'' who means his business. With his talent he has created a place for himself as one of the best modern day seam bowlers and also one can say as the exciting bowler on the view at the moment.
He is not as quick as lightening, but still in line and length he is as steady as equilibrium. What makes him so dangerous is the ability to move the ball and also his slow deliveries with low bounce that one can't read it easily. So one can search a synonym for accurate bowling in him and the line he bowls...very good. Playing more than 170 matches in ODI he has more than 260 wickets in the hunt and his career best is that when he took 7 wickets by just giving 15 runs against Namibia in this World Cup-2003 and really struck as a thunderbolt for them.
Still some batsmen have succeeded in braking his accuracy by hitting his deliveries to boundaries and sixes and one for example is Sachin Tendulkar. But, It has all happened in quite few matches and his comeback by this counter attack were excellent. He has never let any batsmen to settle before his bowling at every meeting. So he still continues to bowl in line for every batsmen and he tries different deliveries for each and every batsmen knowing his mistakes.
Adding the views on his All-Roundability, He is pretty good in the field too. He is not too bad in the field, and also can throw his bat against the ball in the slog overs and can fetch some important runs for his team. But still what more can you expect from a bowler?
His career record suggests that his is a good bowler and well known for his accuracy and line he bowls. He have the capacity to turn the match on his side though there are less runs to defend for his side. He never gives the width for the batsmen and to tackle him certainly one has to scratch his head and think twice before he counter attack this bowler. This suggests that he makes the batsmen think always for choosing the shot he has to play for his well delivered balls.
