McGrath on the way back

[BigCrickNan]

Glenn McGrath's cheeky spark has returned. Perhaps it never left, but for the first half of the year there wasn't much to smile about. In January his wife Jane was diagnosed with her third bout of cancer and McGrath immediately withdrew from team to family. Questions over his playing future as he approached 36 were suddenly even more trivial to a man who usually creates more fear than he feels.

He said hes planning to come back for the India Tour, and hes bowling faster than ever.

Oh Damn! Can't you just stop tormenting us and retire Glenn!!

Nice to see him back though and as for his 'cheeky spark', he'll never ever lose that.

Pidge will give the Aussies come control in the bowling attack, the aussies will welcome him back with open arms

Absolutley; Any team in the world would welcome one of the games finest bowlers back into their squad.

Also, with the upcoming Ashes likley to be McGrath's last, you just know that Pidge is gonna make it a memorable one.

Great to see him back! He might ruin England's Ashes hopes this summer. But we'll have to wait and see.

With a magnificant bowling average of 21, how could he not be an icon of the game?

The Best Bowler among all cuz of his line and length, and he is going to play the world cup too and will rock there.

Lol, your sig is slightly too big

Legend though, and I'm saying that to both Bradman and McGrath.

Like to see McGrath bowling again, though not at England :|

Yeah I fixed that up.

Good to see McGrath back. The last Test he played on the last day of the Sydney test against South Africa, I got to talk to him.
