Really? Watching him run in and plant the same ball in the same spot? Ball after ball. Over after over. Session after session.
*yawn*
Don't get me wrong - he was great bowler (his stats speak for himself), but I never got excited watching him. I've tuned on just to watch hostile spells of Bond, Akhtar, Flintoff, Asif, Steyn, Murali, Warne etc... Bowlers who got you excited. McGrath wasn't one of them.
I would watch McGrath bowl, all day.
I couldn't. I'm English
Akram was the better bowler. There's no question in that. His abilities and skill were far greater than that of McGrath, and I'll have to think for a long time to think of a more skilled bowler than him. McGrath was the more efficient, yes. But he only had two attributes - extreme patience and metronomical accuracy.
