true...... see in case of the great odi match..........australian batsmen made runs but there were no bowlers to take wickets controlling the flow of runs......they just couldnt stop the whacking of proteas........thats where mcgrath is needed...and there were other matches as u had said before were australia lose because of no good bowling in the likes of mcgrath and warne......

Only reason is that Pollock is playing for SA and McGrath for Australia. Australia is full of match winners, so even if Mcgrath gets two wickets their team wins, while that's not the case for Pollock.

Let's say McGrath and Pollock get 5 for 50. Australia have a better batting line up so they're able to chase a target of 300 easily. McGrath will probably get the MOM award. For Pollock, that's not the case, SA probably will lose because of their batting line up that's not as great as Australia. That's all in general, please don't be particular about one or two matches.

I agree, both are great bowlers.
