Wisden honour for McGrath

Sydney: Glenn McGrath, after his successful return from a injury lay-off, has been named Wisden Australia's Cricketer of the Year.

McGrath staved off challenge from Shane Warne and Adam Gilchrist to bag the honour.

The lanky Aussie spearhead had bone spurs in his left foot which kept him out of action for nearly a year and for someone in his mid 30s, it seemed end of all roads for the pacer but he proved all wrong and came back with vengeance.

From his comeback match against Sri Lanka in Darwin in July to the final Test against New Zealand in March this year, McGrath took 69 wickets at 18.17 and later claimed his 500th Test victim at Lord's in July. — UNI
