A complete cricketer is one who has performed consistently under tough conditions, has won matches, been a part of a winning team and is respected by both opposition and his team.
A lot of names come into my mind, but Mc Grath stands ahead of all. He has been a part of two world cup winning teams, been a part of a team that has won series everywhere. The best part of him is that he gets the best opposition batsmen out, whether it was Sachin in 99 and 03 world cups or Lara in 99.
He may not be an entertainer like Warne or may not have the magical talent of Wasim, people even rate him as "Monotonous" or "boring".This is exactly the quality that makes him special, his bloody mindedness, his patientce is his weapon.
He is agressive and sometimes very abusive, but he is without a doubt the best man a team can ask for, a cricketer's cricketer. The "Champion fast bowler" of modern era. A winner.
