Former Australian pacer Glenn McGrath praised the current England side saying they have the ability to retain their number one spot in Test cricket for a long time.England whitewashed India in a four-match Test series this year to become the top team in the longest version of the game according to the ICC Test team’s rankings.
McGrath credited the English bowling attack for their recent success in every format of the game. He stated, “It has been an interesting time, especially with the way England have played. I think England have a great bowling attack and when you have that, it gives you a lot of confidence and they deserve to be number one.”
The Aussie legend was impressed with James Anderson’s bowling and said that he has been the leading performer for his side in the recent years.
One of the most successful bowlers in Australia’s history further praised the support that Anderson had from the other bowlers. He added, “Now he has Tim Bresnan, Stuart Broad and Chris Tremlett bowling with him and they’ve been great. Those fast bowlers along with Graeme Swann are working well. When you have the same bowling attack game after game it really does fill you with a lot of confidence.”
