MANCHESTER : Evergreen James Anderson took three wickets as England's seamers steered their side to victory over South Africa by an innings and 85 runs just before the close of the third day of the second test at Old Trafford on Saturday.
Ben Stokes produced the crucial double strike to set England on course for a three-day thrashing of South Africa at Emirates Old Trafford.
Former pacers Brett Lee and Glenn McGrath were two of the most feared bowlers during their playing days. The duo dominated the Australian bowling line-up in the early 2000s. McGrath, who had a uncanny ability to be very consistent with his line and length, took 563 wickets in his Test career, while Lee scalped 310 Test wickets. Cherishing his memories with McGrath, Lee called him a laid-back character, who would always be playing "a practical joke on someone."
Young left-arm pacer Chetan Sakariya has impressed one and all with his potential after his prformances in the Indian Premier League. His IPL show also earned him an India cap and the youngster has played 2 T20Is and 1 ODI for India, picking up a total of 3 wicket so far.
Former Australia pacer Glenn McGrath was all praise for India fast bowler Umran Malik, saying that sheer pace is unique and that cannot be taught to any bowler in the world. Umran impressed everyone with his pace during the Indian Premier League 2022, clocking over 150 kph regularly. As a result, the Jammu and Kashmir pacer recently made his debut for India during the T20I series against Ireland. While several experts have suggested that Umran should focus more on line and length instead of pace. However, McGrath said that he hates seeing fast bowlers sacrificing pace to attain control.
Glenn McGrath feels that playing a Test series in India, scheduled to be held next year, is going to be the ultimate challenge for Pat Cummins & Co. McGrath was also appreciative of Australia's recent performances in Test trips to Pakistan and Sri Lanka, saying that the side has started to understand sub-continental conditions. Australia will tour India as part of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy tentatively in February-March 2023, with an aim to win the series in a country where they have never won after the 2-1 triumph in October-November 2004.
Australian fast bowling great Glenn McGrath is still in love with the 50-over format but has no hesitation in admitting that it does face a daunting challenge with the exponential popularity of T20 cricket. A traditionalist by nature, the 'Director of Coaching' at the MRF Pace Foundation still believes that Test cricket remains the "ultimate test" of a cricketer.
