Indeed, KP was a big storm when he arrived to international cricket, stats can't define the impact of the player. I also believe that nowadays cricket lacks competitiveness.
How much difference does a good/bad opening spell make for setting the tone for the entire series? Compare this to Harmisson's first ball of the 2006-07 Ashes. Here England lost the first Test, but the fiery bowling was a sign of things to come.
What a bowler McGrath was. Even though James Anderson has surpassed him, he will never be close to what McGrath was. A fast bowler who was pinpoint accurate in all conditions and extremely successful in Asia as well. His match-ups with Sachin and Lara were just a treat to test cricket lovers. Salute Legend!
Anderson is not even 10% of what mcgrath was. Mcgrath was deadly in all sorts of conditions . His home and away records were equally great unlike anderson's. Anderson's 65% of his total test wickets came in england itself.
We still have the classic wooden stumps (with the little mikes and cameras) and they make the same sound when hit. Earlier this week, I was driving back home during the post lunch session of the 5th day of the 4th Test of the England vs India series. Put the commentary on. Very very clearly heard Hameed, and especially Pope and Bairstow's stumps rattle. Didn't even pay attention to what the commentators were saying then, the stumps rattling and crowd roar was enough to tell me a wicket had fallen.
The way mmc graht was bowling, i say england were lucky that in the second test match he was out injured and england scored 400+ without him and won by just 2 runs.
Only now, has Joe Root elevated his strokeplay to be KP's equivalent. But by God, the only equivalent of KP in batting dominance were Brian Lara......and perhaps Richards and Sobers before him.
If harmison had been injured we would have lost ! If I'd picked the right lottery numbers I'd be not working tomorrow! If If If! We won deal with it ..
England were all over Australia in the first innings.....and then came Glenn McGrath. Man took out England's top five batsmen all by himself. What an absolute legend!
I remember watching how KP laid into Australia’s all time greats in his first test in what turned out to be a losing cause, almost toying with them. I just knew he was destined for greatness.
The Australian Team in the 2000s was an absolute peak of a team. Hayden, Langer, Ponting, Martyn, Symonds, Gilchrist, Clarke, Warne, Lee, McGrath, Gillespie. How to defeat when everyone is an absolute match winner?!!?! 🙌🛐
Every time I watch Simon Jones bowl, I get so pissed off! We were robbed of such an amazing talent. How cruel to cut short a bowling phenomenon like him. His reverse swing was unrivaled. And if you watch a close up of his face during his deliveries, it all looks so effortless. Just wow. Thankfully he did play a massive part in the 2005 Ashes.
What a team australia had.. you have 7 batsman and 4 bowlers... And you keep winning and winning .. and they had a equal backup for every player.. for Glenn they had kasporwicz for Lee they had tait.. it was a great team... And after being bundled down for 190 they won by 239 runs which speaks volume... Amazing team..
@@joshua51814 no doubt Ambrose is a legendary bowler. But to have ' no real difference ' between his and Ambrose's records in an era dominated by batsmen who get to wear helmets and get shorter boundaries to target is phenomenal. For the same reason I also believe that batsmen of Ambrose's era should be recognised more
If ever there was a thriiling legendary test series in the entire cricketing history then it was this and this series especially belonged to the likes of Ricky Ponting , Glenn Mcgrath , Shane Warne , Kevin Pietersen , Brett Lee , Steven Harmison , Freddie.
In 1990s to 2000 this Australian team was perfect in all aspects. Domination... indians used to pray that we should win against them at all. odds... Shane Warne,lee,mcrath,gilly,kaspr9vitz,etc .. batting was 7 batsman lineup which has Gilchrist at no 7 ... likes of ponting,martin ,hayden ,leman ,etc.... they set examples to win repeatedly world cups... until india came back at 2011...

Watching McGrath at the near end of his career was no surprise. But didn’t realise for a second that KP was playing his first test innings. Coming in for the first time and smashing the star studded Australian side when others were failing. That’s something unbelievable. That’s the most experienced looking debut to me ever.
To quote Michael Vaughn at Downing St: We'll be lucky to beat these guys ever again. They did twice during Australia's malaise times, but overall, England just can't beat Australia...despite 4x population.
I was in my 11th standard then..... It was like, come back from school, have lunch along with live ashes..... So thumping the action was then. Flintoff, Warne, Mcgrath, Peiterson all made up the day then... 🏏
"Bowlers era",of cricket. I lv this type of cricket. Sadly today there's no cricket left to play like this. Back then test cricket also is like thriller movies. What a fantastic era miss this era so much
The best test series ever happened in the cricketing history where we saw how this English side, filled with sheer criticism and dusky hours, showed juggernaut valour against the then Invincibles Kangaroos and not only earn the urn but also their respect they were bestowed but their ancestors and bringing their brand of cricket back to its competitive life.

Can't believe this was KP's first test series. He played like a very experienced batsman and was one of the major reasons for England's victory.

Everyone is gangsta until McGrath shows up at Lords
