England's Stuart Broad proud to be in company of 'hero' Glenn McGrath
Stuart Broad said he was proud to have surpassed the Test-wicket tally of boyhood hero Glenn McGrath as England closed in on a series win over South Africa at The Oval. Broad captured the prize scalp of South Africa captain Dean Elgar for 36 on Sunday for his 564th Test wicket, topping long-retired Australia great McGrath's haul of 563. Elgar had been in good touch but the Proteas' most experienced batsman surprisingly decided against a review, even though replays showed the ball would have missed leg stump. South Africa had been 83-1 before Elgar's dismissal, which precipitated another batting collapse as they slumped to 169 all out in the deciding Test of a three-match contest. When bad light brought a premature halt to the fourth day, England were 97-0, needing just 33 more runs on Monday to reach a target of 130 that would secure a 2-1 series win.

"A Class Clown...": Brett Lee Reveals How Off The Field Glenn McGrath Was Exact Opposite Of His On-field Persona
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.
