Oh, look, a cum-shot from Anni. Careful old son, you'll have someone's eye out if you keep doing that.

Legend is the only word that comes to mind when one mentions McGrath. I heard he has married again. Good to hear for him and his kids.

Happy married life to him.

Before the Murali fan boys sh!t storm starts ...I'd like to point out that Murali is perfectly entitled to bend his elbow at 45 degrees as the photo seems to suggest ....he just has to keep it within 15 degrees of that bend throughout his delivery ...a second photo is needed to show he is chucking

Does this mean McGrath was unable to get batsmen out who were set?

Is the Assassin around? Can Statsguru search via the score made by the batsmen dismissed by a bowler?

It'd be interesting to see how many batsmen Pidg dismissed when they where past 50, or 100.

So well over half his wickets were players scoring single figures.

Brilliant.
