McGrath to Follow

Poor Glenn McGrath - even in retirement he's overshadowed by Warne. He thought he'd be clever and announce his retirement after the next test, but instead the Warne announcement started a media feeding frenzy of speculation about McGrath.

Despite Warne's shadow, McGrath has been one of the greatest fast bowlers in the history of test cricket. It will be interesting to see how Australia fare without their golden bowling tandem. They seem to have a long line of great young batsmen waiting for a shot at the big time, but I'm not sure what sort of young bowlers they have to work with. The answer to that question will shape the international cricket rankings for the next decade.
