What do you think about that?
In the Bangladesh match he open the bowling with braken. Tait come as the first change bowler.
Is it good or should Glenn McGrath be the first change bowler!

I think Glenn McGrath is the most consistent bowler i hve ever seen.. He is certainly the wicket taker and most importantly the run saver of Australia..
He bowls at such a tight length that he makes the batsman play each and every ball.. He just bowls stump to stump and hardly gives any room to the batsmen.. Although he has lost his pace, but still he is a very effective bowler.
But during powerplays, batsmen target him, and as only two fielders r allowed outside the 30 yard circle, he goes for some runs..
So according to me, he is a good option for the first change bowler..

The young Glenn McGrath was described by Mike Whitney as "thin - but Ambrose-thin, not Bruce Reid-thin". Much later, Mike Atherton compared McGrath to Ambrose on a vaster scale. Catapulted rom the outback of New South Wales into Test cricket to replace Merv Hughes in 1993 McGrath became, after a faltering start,the great Australian pace man of his time. And after passing Courtney Walsh's 519 wickets in the 2005 Super Test only Dennis Lillee threatens his title as the greatest Australian fast man of all time. His obituary has been prepared a few times he was doubted after coming back in 2004 from ankle surgery and there were similar fears following a long lay-off to care for his wife two years later - but he wrote his own farewell by retiring from Tests on his home ground. Apart from bowing out with a 5-0 Ashes win, he walked of the SCG with a wicket from his final ball to capture his 563th victim. The World Cup will be his last tour as an international before he becomes a full-time Dad.

I think he always has proved to a good opener bowler aginst the opponent teams.Well he was downed in bowling since Austrailia has had so many good fast bowlers.Buut since in todays scenario he can check the runrate even if first 8-9 overs went for runs and can intimidate the opponent with his experience,in my opinion he should come as first change bowler.

yes...i also agreed.
I think now he loose his pace as well as his swing. Now batters around the world would targeting him as a run making option.
Who knows....if they fail!. the last laugh be from vary tall lanky Aussie bowler!
