Glenn McGrath Quotations

I guess it is disappointing that there are people out there that would do it,

I got the length slightly wrong, a little bit too full and wide. He's the type of guy who can do that but he can get out just as easily. He is a dangerous batsman but I probably learned more than he did by hitting those sixes.

Ideally he is best used in shorter spells but he can still bowl longer spells at great pace.

I felt good this morning, especially in that first spell and I hit my rhythm in the fifth or sixth over and then I was on my way, but I just tried to remain a bit more patient and tried to get the ball in the right areas.

I first saw Rudolph in South Africa and I think he made a double ton against us in a tour match. He's always had that potential. He is a pretty decent player. He showed yesterday that he can bat for along time and really knuckle down and save a test match.

I think on his day he still can be (as good as ever), it depends on how he is going, how much he wants it, and how things go out in the middle, he is still a dangerous batsman.

That was better than getting a big wicket haul. It's been a long time coming and I'm very happy.

That's the way it goes with cricket. We accept it. England à I'm sure things were similar with them. It's hard to say one team was worse.

We had an old Melbourne-type pitch in Perth, so I guess it would be only fitting if we had a traditionally fast Perth-type pitch in Melbourne.

While Shane Warne will probably be named Test player of the year, and Brett Lee and Mike Hussey can expect to fight for the one-day player award, Ricky should earn enough votes to take home the AB Medal and become the first man to win it twice. And there couldn't be a more deserving winner this year.

We have been happy with the way we have bowled to him and I can't see our plans changing.

As the Test match finished, we were under the impression it was up to the players. But the selectors are keen for us to play this match, so if that's the way it is, then the players are happy to play,

The Test match will be over, one way or the other, sometime tomorrow and if they get the runs it'll be fair enough.

The thing that disappoints me most is a lot of wickets around Australia are losing their character. It would be disappointing if all wickets around Australia are identical.

They're playing with a lot more confidence - there's no doubt about that. They are more match aware

It was always going to be the possible outcome that a few guys might lose their positions,

It's back to business as usual for the fifth Test. I've made a full recovery and will definitely play at The Oval, ... It has been so frustrating sitting out two of the first four tests, but now I can get at the England batsmen in the decider.

It's the way the selectors have gone, obviously they've got a tough job to do and we'll see what happens over the next few months.

It's looking in Australia's favor - we're in front at the moment, ... I think tomorrow it'll be over one way or the other. If they get the runs, it's a fair effort.

The ball skidded past me, I ran to pick it up and with my first step I landed on a cricket ball,

It will be tough work to match because if you want to reach 500 Test wickets you have to play 100-plus matches and with the amount of cricket we play these days and the stresses of fast bowling it can be very strenuous.

I guess having been a reasonably accurate bowler in my day, I can identify with Glenn's bowling. I would certainly love to spend a few minutes with him to teach him to let the ball go with a bit more angle on the seam and every now and then make the ball bend away in the air.

If there's a possibility that I can still go on the South African tour then so be it. If not we'll think about next season.

I obviously want to be there for the Ashes and the World Cup, then we'll see how we go. I haven't felt better all season. That's a big positive for me.

Harmy is a class bowler and I think he's one of the main reasons why England have improved over the last 18 months.

Dhoni has the respect of all other playing. nations. I've found him to be a really strong. leader

You expect to cop a bit wherever you go. In the past there hasn't been any racism or any racist comments that I've seen. I'm expecting a tough time, as we get everywhere we go, but racism hasn't been a problem before.

Sehwag is the most unpredictable batsman i have ever seen in my career

The joy he brings to the millions of his countrymen, the grace with which he handles all the adulation and the expectations and his innate humility - all make for a one-in-a-billion individual.

I don't really care much for all this 'are they closer?' I really believe that it's all about us - if we are executing our skills I don't believe there's a side that can get close to us.

If I get him out early then great, if not he sometimes goes on to make a great score.

I am not trying to think about the possibility that my tour might be over, but the next 48 hours should settle the issue once and for all, ... While I have more or less conceded it is highly unlikely I will be fit in time to play the third Test at Old Trafford, I still have my sights set firmly on the fourth Test at Trent Bridge.
