Hall of fame is for legends.

Only three Indians - Bedi , Gavaskar & Kapil have been inducted into Hall of fame.

You are right ..... ICC will not only honour Sachin with Hall of Fame but also add "SIR" to his name, only three cricketers have received such gr8 honour. But it will take atleast five year. May be after some years of his full retirement.

Reread my message ... I have gr8 respect for Sachin.... I wrote... MBut it will take atleast five year. May be after some years of his full retirement. .... BOSS honour of SIR is given only when world cricket finds that uniqueness of that Cricketer. India and world cricket will realize his gr8 value only after his retirement.

Mcgrath was the best bowler of the past 2 decades. Pace was not as much as Bret Lee or Akthar or Steyn, but his unwavering line & length got the better of most of the batsmen. However, he had a great sense for sledging and some of them are really funny.

1. McGrath to Sarwan: “So what does Brian Lara’s dicktaste like?”.
Sarwan: “I don’t know. Ask your wife".
McGrath(pissedoff): “If you ever fuckingmention mywife again, I’ll fuckingrip your fuckingthroat out.”

2. McGrath to Eddo Brandes: "Why are you so fat?"
Eddo replies "Because every time I fuckyourwife, she gives me a biscuit".

Thanks bro, thats all I can search for Mcgrath. But our own Ravi Shastri (aka repeater, drunkard) is also not behind.

Shastri hits the ball towards Mike Whitney (the 12th man in Aus) and looked for a single. Whitney said, "If you leave the crease i’ll break your fuckinghead". Without battling an eyelid, Shastri retorted, "If you could bat as well as you can talk you wouldn't be the fucking12th man" :)

Aussies are known for sledging. Viv Richards hit Merv Hughes for four consecutive boundaries in one over. Merv stops halfway down the pitch, fartedloudly, and said to Viv: “let’s see you hit that to the boundary!” Viv was dumbfounded.

LOLZ, good one Solid Singh. I guess it was a decade ago that their notorious spat happened. Unfortunately for Mcgrath, his wife was detected with cancer shortly and it consumed her.

Great bowler but a poor sportsman!!
by Senthil Kumar on Dec 31, 2012 03:21 PM

Glenn mcgrath might be a great bowling legendand would have the figures to back it up.he was an extremely poor sportsman and didnt play cricket in its true Sporting spirit. He does Not deserve to be their along with other greats. It is disservice to other such fine cricketers.

Indeed, he was a legend & deserves this credit & more - albeit this recognition has come about 5 years after he quit the game......sooner than later; still good enough! Kudos to Glenn McGrath - you were feared by batsman across the globe !!!!

But lack of sportsman spirit ... While Giving any prestigious award Cricket analyst should also consider the players sportsmanship, only quality performance and figures should not be the only criteria.
