He had a perfect career. Almost from the moment he joined the Australian team, his team displaced the great WI's as no.1 and never lost it until after he retired. The 2005 ashes losses only came in matches that he was absent. He achieved everything, no.1 ranking in all forms of cricket his entire career, 3 ODI world cups (undefeated from 2000-2010). Best hat-trick ever. Wickets on every surface against all opposition. Unquestionbly amongst the greatest fast bowlers of all time and if you consider that he's taken more wickets than any other fast bowler in history at an outstanding average (only slightly bettered by few other greats such as Ambrose and Marshall) and a brilliant economy and very good strike rate, it's just no surprise to see him amongst the greats. I'd argue even further though, that unlike the other bowlers in his class such as Marshall, he had an outstanding ratio of top order batsmen to lower order batsmen. For this reason I argue that he's the best ever.

Glenn Mcgrath the champions of champions.Hall of Fame is defined by the players of his immense calibre.arguablely the best new ball bowler ever.if akram was versatile mcgrath's great skill was to bowl consistently just short of good length to keep embarassing even the best of batsman by making them commit mistakes with uncomfortable footwork.If a coin was put on pitch he would have been spot on 10 out of ten times.The true pillar for the australians dominance.if he was bowling today england and south africa can just rule out winning a test match forget the series.For me the ball of millennium was inn 99 world cup when he got Brian Lara .lara did nothing wrong with his defence but his stumps were shackled.That was awsome.His biggest talent was to always get rid of the oppositions best batsman quickly to make the life easier for other bowlers.There is no denying fact that australians are struggling since the traditional art of fast bowling has died with him.

If anyone deserves to be in the ICC Hall of Fame, then it has to be Pigeon. The Aussie legend with his exceptional and immaculate line and length troubled the best in the world. Who says you need pace to be a great fast bowler, Gleen McGrath is an ideal example of how can one be equally terrorizing with gentle pace. Hats off to you Sir...Congrats for the honour.
