it was held in Calcutta . Vangipurappu Venkata Sai Laxman. ......

Over the course of two hot days at Eden Gardens Laxman has defied the world's best team to record the highest score by an Indian in a Test match.

On and on he went. The mighty Glenn McGrath, scourge of Tendulkar , was seen off .

Profile

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 from the outback of New South Wales into Test cricket to replace Merv Hughes in 1993, McGrath became, after a faltering start, the great Australian paceman 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 - even if he never delivers another international ball. "Whenever people have written me off, I have always proved them wrong," McGrath said as the obituary writers prepared themselves early in 2006. "I'm the best person to judge how I'm going and I've never felt better."

McGrath bowls an unremitting off-stump line and an immaculate length, gains off-cut and bounce, specialises in the opposition's biggest wickets - especially Atherton's and Brian Lara's - is unafraid to back himself publicly in these key duels, and has shown himself to be unusually durable. He is a batting rabbit who applied himself so intently that while playing for Worcestershire he won a bet with an Australian team-mate by posting a fifty. The work eventually paid off in Tests when he made 61, the third-highest score by a No. 11, against New Zealand in 2004-05. Only in his occasional fits of ill-temper does he fail himself.

He rewrote the World Cup record-books in 2003 with 7 for 15 against the outclassed Namibians, on his way to adding another winner's medal to a bulging collection. An ankle injury threatened to derail his quest for 500 Test wickets, but after briefly contemplating retirement he bounced back with yet another five-wicket haul against Sri Lanka at Darwin in July 2004. Three months later, at Nagpur, he became the first fast bowler to play 100 matches in the baggy green, and his greatness was further confirmed when knocking down the brittle Pakistanis at Perth with 8 for 24, the second-best figures by an Australian. Adept at picking his moments, he chose the first day at Lord's to reach 500 and his subsequent ankle and arm injuries were crucial to Australia losing the series. The following summer was also painfully disrupted with the reoccurrence of his wife Jane's cancer, which called for immediate treatment and McGrath's full attention. He pulled out of the VB Series finals as well as tours to South Africa and Bangladesh, but at 36 still wants to right the wrongs of the previous Ashes campaign.
