5 International cricketers who had a perfect ending to their Test careers

Glenn McGrath

Glenn McGrath is one of the best seam bowlers to have ever played the game. Over the years, Australia has struggled marginally to find a bowler who can match his standards as a big match player.

He held the record for the highest number of wickets taken by a fast bowler in Test cricket for a span of twelve years. Australia were recognized as the world champions in Test and one-day cricket for almost a decade with McGrath spearheading their bowling attack.

McGrath announced his retirement from Test cricket with Australia whitewashing England 5-0 in 2006-07 Ashes series. Australia replicated the feat after a span of 86 years.

McGrath ended the series with 21 wickets in five Tests and finished his glorious career with 563 Test wickets with an average of 21.64. This series is also remembered for the retirement of three other Australian players in Justin Langer, Damien Martyn and Shane Warne.
