#OnThisDay in 1993, Glenn McGrath made his international debut for Australia.
Following Craig McDermott’s absence, Australia were searching for new pace-bowling options in the early 1990s.
A 23-year-old McGrath was competing with NSW teammate Wayne Holdsworth for a place in the national side.
While Holdsworth showed plenty of promise, McGrath’s height and remarkable accuracy set him apart, paving the way for a legendary career. Injuries, meanwhile, denied Holdsworth a Test debut.
In the 19th century my family’s paddle steamer “the Wandering Jew” traded on the river system. Now in the 21st century I do the same by jet. I wonder how we will do it in another 100 years time? @Airport_Ec@Qantas@akubraofficial@RMWilliamsUK
