Yeah both poor sides, as were India at the time. It really was basically WI, Pak and NZ at the time.Those damn flat 00’s pitches. McGrath the huge beneficiary.
2 extremely mediocre test sides for a bicentennial match..

Ah yes, the big three.Yeah both poor sides, as were India at the time. It really was basically WI, Pak and NZ at the time.
Not sure if this is sarcasm, but yeah McGraths batting improved a fair bit.Really? surely not
McGraths averages under different captains/eras (Ponting and Waugh were the good years).Yeah I know it improved and it was a big talking point at the time, I just didn't realise he got so "good" that he was averaging 10 over a decent period. He still looked awful

The birth of the Garner for batting meme was literally AA talking about McGrath's batting.Is this forum really discussing Glenn McGrath batting?
Whichever brand he was actually using was actually paying him to take off the stickers IMO.I remember he was using the clean skin bat for a while, always jokes about him looking for a sponsor
Oh I forgot him.The birth of the Garner for batting meme was literally AA talking about McGrath's batting.
It's not just that. His balls per dismissal did improve too. Up until the end of the 98-99 Ashes (when his career average was a shocking 4.52) he only faced 13.76 balls per dismissal. It was 21.37 thereafter so he was definitely lasting longer too.McGraths averages under different captains/eras (Ponting and Waugh were the good years).
Yeah he was still pretty awful, but I think the main difference was that he started playing a few shots rather than just standing there with a bat in hand

Correct way to measure captaincy.McGraths averages under different captains/eras (Ponting and Waugh were the good years).

He rejoined with a multi which we had to ban, so don't give him too much credit.Oh I forgot him.

Nah Chris Martin, Tuffnel and Courtney Walsh that would beReally scraping the bottom now if we're comparing who was the better bat between Murali and McG
Chandrasekhar vs Ironmonger is a good one.Nah Chris Martin, Tuffnel and Courtney Walsh that would be
