That was very unusual,’ Glenn McGrath recalls ‘sledging’ incident with Sachin Tendulkar



Recalling another game in Kenya for the Champion’s Trophy, the Australian pacer said he was bowling to Sachin who was opening the innings again.
“I bowled to him, he pulled it and it went straight up in the air. I thought I had got him out and the wicketkeeper would get an easy catch. But there was a breeze there and the ball kept drifting further and further away from the wicketkeeper and then I thought the third-man is going to take it who was ready to catch it and then he started going back and back and the ball finally fell out of the fence for a six.
“I was not very impressed and then I could hear someone saying a few words to me and I turned around and it was Sachin sledging me. That was very unusual and had not happened before,” McGrath told an amused audience.
The Australian said later when Sachin released a book few years ago, he read in the book Tendulkar talking about how he sledged him.
“But it was all good fun,” said McGrath, who is now 49 years old.
