My prayers for a speedy recovery for Jane McGrath and for Suresh as well as all other cancer patients. May God be with you in this difficult time. Jai Guru Dev...
Sorry to know that an exhuberant bowler of McGraths' stature has some thing of this kind to face in his life. I, a patient myself, wish only the best to happen in McGraths' life. - Suresh, Chennai

Suresh,
I wish you a speedy recovery. One of my cousin is also a cancer survivor. She is a Sri Lankan citizen and was repeatedly refused treatment in Sri Lanka due to discrimination and finally, because of my mother, she was brought to Chennai for treatment and is now doing really well. It was a hard time in our family for all of us. I know you will make it and lead not just a good life but a great productive life. My cousin is now working with refugee children in TN and I learnt a lot from her appreciation for life.
I got tears rolling down my eyes, on reading this. I hate cancers. They kill half of us while they grow.
Was initially having a lot of contempt for Glenn, based on his stern comments on the pitch against the batsmen. But he kept strong, inspite of having so many wild problems.
God kept her wife healthy. Steve, too, is an awesome example. Steve has contributed much to India, in terms of bringing up blind children. Can we grow up to such a stage? God knows.

I agree with your views and we all prey for the longer and happy married lives for Mcgraths.
This goes to show how great a person Glenn McGrath is. To support his wife going thru such a condition at the cost of the international career is amazing.
We always see big celebrities messing up their provate lives, often ending with divorces. Mc Grath's example shows that there is still humanity and true love existing in this world.

Mcgrath stands at the height of humanity and the sky is the limit for his love towards his wife.HATS OFF TO HIM AND WITH ALL THE PERSONAL PROBLEMS HE HAS BEEN CARRYING WITHIN HIM IS SOMETHING AMAZING.tHEIR SHOULDREN SHOULD BE VERY MUCH PROUD OF THEIR FATHER AND SO DEDICATED TO HIS WIFE AND SHE SHOULD BE VERY GREATFUL TO HIM.I WISH I HAD A BROTHER/FATHER LIKE HIM AND WOULD WANT TO MEET HIM TO SEE THIS GREAT MAN SINCE I AM FROM CHENNAI.IN INDIA I AM NOT SURE BUT I TRUST THAT GOD WILL ANSWER MY PRAYERS SOON.wISE MCGRATHS AND THEIR FAMILY A VERY BRIGHT FUTURE.
No matter how much they sledge, all the cricketers still remain the humble people showing tha they are the best people from the entertainment industry. But Mcgrath able to perform despite all these mental anguish is a true fact of what a human can achieve.

Very True. It\'s good to see such acts by a person and happening it to your close people can have devastating effect on your career. McGrath has really done very well despite all these problems which would have affected him mentally. Any other player of his age would have called it quits long time ago.

The sledging aspect can be attributed to the hunger and desire for winning something that the Indian cricketers lack. Our guys are more interested in endorsements and advertisements.
