What do you think of Glenn McGrath?

Question

I think when he was a young fella he was a typical young fast bowler. Loud, aggressive, even nasty but unlike many almost greats; someone had a word in his ear and he settled down. (I wonder if this was his wife)

He is the greatest fast bowler of all time and (eventually) a wonderful sportsman, in my humble view. What impression has he left you with?

Answer 1

Glen Mcgrath - one of the greatest line and length bowlers of all time, did have a bit of a temper sometimes but i think thats natural in a lot of bowlers

Answer 2

Gr8 bowler with some rudeness and aggressiveness.

Answer 3

I like the way Montitude put it....McGrath's a nice bloke, and he's evolved big time....unlike others, who's only addition to the numbers is their age.

Answer 4

He is a legend and for me the greatest fast bowler ever.

Its really a difficult time for him. May god give him and his children all the courage to go through this tough time

Answer 5

I have always said that Glenn McGrath is the greatest fast bowler ever.

He was not as aggressive as Curtly,he didn't swing the ball as much as Waqar.he wasn't as skillful as Wasim and he wasn't as fast and sharp as Malcolm Marshall but it doesn't matter how you take wickets,what matters is how many you get and at what rate.McGrath's stats prove his greatness.He  got injured many times but it had no effect on his performance.It just kept getting better and better.

Answer 6

mcgrath was no good

though his wife tried hard to make him a humble person but he didnt learn.

may be he is a good bowler.

but as a person what he is, was clearly shown by his comments to serwan for no reason.

if some one starts abusing u ,u abuse back ,its understandable.

but  the initiator is always a piece of s*it which mcgrawth is

my sympathy  to him ,

may god give him strength in this tough time.

rest in peace Mrs. Margrethe.
