    McGrath had done exceedingly well against top class batsmen like Sachin, Inzamam, Lara ....the current crop of great players....

    this itself is conclusive that he is a great bowler...

    Mcgrath was always a medium paced bowler...he never bowled at high speed even during his youthful years......

    One of the main reason for Steve Waugh's success story as a captain was Mcgrath along with Shane warne...

    Often we have seen matches without these 2 bowlers, aussies have suffered a lot ...it will be a high scoring match.....

    Somebody who can challenge Sachin today technically, it could be Mcgrath only.....

    Indeed a great bowler.....

    Talking about great players . Mcgrath has himself come out in flying colours in all contests against great batsman.........he has troubled all frontline opening batsman in the world......he was a nightmare for indian and england openers....steve waugh was lucky to have him in his side along with shane warne.......

    Infact, I have never seen Sachin fully comfortable against Mcgrath......

    Mike Atherton was his favourite wicket always...

    Lara had been troubled quite often by Mcgrath

    Inzamam never came out successful against Mcgrath ( infact his overall record against aussies itself is just average )

    A real outstanding bowler.....complete in all aspects of the art of swing bowling

    if pitch favors batsmen nothing can be done.... but the match was thoroughly enjoyable... though most of chennai ppl couldnt watch this spectacular match bcoz of settop box problem

    Pollock is a good bowler not as great as Mcgrath....... There have been many matches where polock has been taken for a pounding in his second spells due to lack of pace..........So lancy polock is not a decisive factor as McGrath........
