How do you put Glenn McGrath's name in the bowlers who have taken Bowlers who have taken 5 wickets in a Test innings 25 times or more box?-- Rickster89 00:44, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Glenn McGrath's name needs to be put in the Bowlers who have taken 300 ODI wickets box and I don't know how to do it.---- Rickster89 11:07, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Too much text in this article, should be more subheadings. another job for Vines or Turner. thanks.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 210.56.65.6 ( talk • contribs) .
Im curious, why isnt there anything on the incident(s) where McGrath called Jayasuriya a 'black monkey'. This kind of racist behaviour/attitude seems to come built in in every australian, nevermind the australian cricket team.
I can't not say this. I'm disgusted that your comment has been left on the discussion page for this long despite making a sweeping racist claim about the entire population of Australia without even signing it. Whoever you are, whatever you think of Glenn McGrath, you are all that and then some. Ironic isn't it? And Jonesy, it doesn't matter if it happened or not. Why argue with him about references and citations when he is a blatant racist? Can we please get rid of this discussion? It doesn't deserve to be here. -- Grinning Idiot 13:44, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
Accusing someone of being a racist whilst making a sweeping generalisation about an entire country yourself is incredibly hypocritical. Whatever you think of Glenn McGrath, or the Australian cricket team (the dislike of which is partly fuelled by jealousy, if we're honest) to slag off the Australian people because of it is not on. 87.74.28.177 14:40, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
I have added the incident complete with reference form an australian source 194.168.3.18 13:10, 19 October 2007 (UTC) Tazzcricket
From what I remember of all the Australians it was only ever Darren Leeman who called anyone a 'little black monkey', and he was punished for it. The Night Walker —Preceding comment was added at 14:12, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
Actually Roshan Mahanama wrote in his autobiography that McGrath had racially insulted Sri Lankan players and that the Sri Lankan team on that tour to Australia was constantly subject to racist chants from the spectactors. Oh and you can't deny that there are major racism issues in Australia, with Indians being beaten up and even killed thesedays. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.231.106.120 ( talk) 22:23, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
I have uploaded Image:GlennMcGrath.JPG, but the original looks fine. If anyone wants to swap/add them both somewhere, go ahead. Daniel.Bryant [ T · C ] 06:33, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
I'm curious as to why there's not more coverage of what was said between McGrath and Sarwan in 2003. It was such a highly publicised event.
McGrath's remarks were confirmed by sources to have been lewd remarks involving Sarwan and Lara. They were thus homophobic in nature. By contrast Sarwan was confirmed to have simply made lewd remarks about McGrath's wife, a standard rebuttal which had nothing to do with Jane's battle with cancer at the time. McGrath's reaction, where he was caught on camera threatening to rip Sarwan's throat out, was heavily criticised at the time, and rightly so. Even Glenn apologised for it and said it was unacceptable.
And yet, despite all that, it's a sidenote in this page. No offence, but considering the page is moderated by Australians, it just seems a little biased to cover that controversy up. The least someone could do is add a footnote to the bit that mentions the Sarwan incident linking to this page: http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/05/13/1052591796226.html —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.9.34.254 ( talk) 11:01, 28 April 2007 (UTC).
I think to have a section of this article detailing his onfield controversies would be to categorize him as a controversial figure. There have been a couple of incidents. Maybe they should be mentioned in passing, but who among us would look squeaky clean on wikipedia if we all had a section detailing every ugly thing we had ever done? BTW, given what McGrath had been going through with his wife's illness, if I was Sarwan I would've had the brains to leave her out of it completely. I'm impressed that he apologised - Sarwan should've known better.-- Grinning Idiot 14:02, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
To be fair, I think noone would doubt McGrath has been a controversial figure. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing; all great players have been controversial at one time or another. It's the passion to be the best that sometimes spills over.
Bringing "brains" into it or saying "Sarwan should've known better" misses the point. There's no thought behind sledging; it's mindless banter. If it had malicious forethought then few players would be able to remain friends off the field. Funnily enough Sarwan and Glenn remain good mates, by all accounts, and Glenn hasn't blamed Sarwan for his remarks, accepting that no matter what, making violent threats is wrong. Mentioning the wife has always been a traditional sledging tactic. If anything I would say considering what was going on with his wife, McGrath should've avoided sledging knowing full well that she might be brought into it by someone in the heat of the battle. He knew his mental state, and if he couldn't take it, he shouldn't dish it out. 84.9.33.200 11:09, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
