Jane and Glenn shared two children, Holly, and James, and Glenn is now married to wife Sara, who he shares his one-year-old daughter Madison with. He was a fast-medium pace bowler and is considered one of the greatest Australian international bowlers of all time,[1] and a leading contributor to Australia's domination of world cricket from the mid-1990s to the late-2000s.
This happened as planned, and he followed this with the dismissal of captain Jimmy Adams to complete a memorable hat-trick. Fast bowling superstar Glen McGrath says his children could one day take the reigns of his enormously successful breast cancer charity more than a decade after their mother Janes death. Rather, he relied on unerring accuracy and subtle seam movement, which he derived from his high wrist action and lengthy follow-through.
“It’s not just about the person going through breast cancer, it’s about the whole family. Now, on the third day of every Sydney test match, players and fans wear pink in a show of support. [26][27] His height (195 cm), combined with a high arm action, allowed him to extract extra bounce, which often surprised batsmen.
The foundation was established in 2005 and raises funds to place McGrath breast care nurses across Australia, in order to help improve the lives of women who have developed breast cancer.
[24] His team shirt bore the name "Pidge", short for his nickname "Pigeon". [51] He was also awarded the Men's ODI Player of the Year in 2001.

For his performances in 2006, he was named in the World Test XI by ICC[18][circular reference]. [9] He currently serves as president of the McGrath Foundation, a breast cancer support and education charity he founded with his deceased first wife, Jane. Doing it for Jane: 'It is all about their mum's legacy, and the day at the SCG is a special time for them,' Glenn said, speaking on the eve of the third day of the test against Pakistan. A good cause: Glenn co-founded the McGrath foundation with his late wife, Jane, who lost her battle with breast cancer in 2008 (seen in 2007), Passionate in pink: To honour Jane, the SCG turns pink for the third day of the Sydney test in honour of Jane - it was her favourite colour - to raise funds for the foundation. In the first World Cricket Tsunami Appeal charity match, he was promoted to bat at number 6 ahead of specialist batsmen Stephen Fleming and Matthew Hayden, but was dismissed first ball trying to slog Muttiah Muralitharan. In a fan poll conducted by the CA in 2017, he was named in the country's best Ashes XI in the last 40 years. Before the 2005 Ashes series he predicted a 5–0 whitewash for Australia, and even said that if England won the Ashes he would return to Australia by boat, but England prevailed 2–1. He explained: 'Losing Jane was tragic and I thought I'd never get married again, or have more children, or would even ever want to.
