Is Glenn McGrath the greatest ever fast bowler from Australia, this debate has raged on for quite some time now. Many believe that he is, many vouch for Jeff Thomson. Whatever be the argument, there is little doubt that the lanky New South Welshman was one of the match-winners for Australia.

His line and length were so immaculate that he could land that ball on a coin on a length and then could move it just so much to dismiss the batsmen. He was a nemesis for the England team and his record against them is a testament to his effectiveness.

Thus it was quite fitting that he played his last match against England during the 2007 Ashes and his last wicket was that of James Anderson. The stage was set for him, as he wrapped up the England innings at Sydney Cricket Ground and in the process Australia won the series 5-0.
