Heaping reward on Prasidh, who has educated on the MRF Pace Foundation, McGrath stated, “I’ve all the time preferred Prasidh’s angle. He is all the time eager to bowl within the nets. He is getting leads to the center for the arduous work he places in throughout coaching which exhibits his high quality.

“He is mentally strong and has a good attitude. He is bowling well at the moment. He is high on confidence.” Asked about Bumrah not being his ordinary wicket-taking self in the course of the IPL by which his crew Mumbai Indians have misplaced all their seven video games to date, McGrath stated since “he has enjoyed so much success early in his career, he is expected to maintain that level”.

“I think, batsmen are a lot more watchful against him these days. But as a bowler, you want to take wickets, so it’s more of a mental game now. He is a quality bowler and very intelligent. I expect him to bounce back strongly.”

McGrath, who picked up 563 wickets from 124 Tests and 381 scalps from 250 ODIs, stated it was good to see high quality tempo bowlers rising in India.

“Always been good batting conditions and bowling conditions for spinners here. But what I have heard is that the pitches are a little different now and there is more in it for the pacers now which I think is great. “…you see that India line-up for quite some years now have a quality fast bowling attack. When you have a strong bowling line-up in your national team, it filters down with more people wanting to become fast bowlers as well,” stated the tempo legend, who has been with the Pace Foundation for 10 years now.

“But it is one thing that the national team has pacers but you also need to see who are the guys coming in next. Australia has had the same issue (with Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood doing the bulk of pace bowling) until you had (Scott) Boland in the Ashes. You need good depth in your fast bowling,” he added.

About younger pacer Umran Malik, who has made heads flip together with his sheer tempo and performances within the ongoing IPL, he stated, “I think pace is important but it’s not everything. You don’t want someone bowling 150 kph and spraying it down the leg side or spraying it wide so you have got to have that control. “But if you have a bowler bowling at that pace you would want to have longevity. I am sure the selectors will be very interested in him and would love to have someone bowling at that pace for your country,” he added.

On pacer Cummins being handed the Australia Test captaincy, McGrath stated, “There have been fast bowlers like Kapil Dev, Imran Khan, (Courtney) Walshwas not something I thought they couldn’t do. Fast bowlers are more intelligent than the batsman (laughs). I like the way Cummins and Steve Smith work together.”

On former teammate Shane Warne, who handed away lately, McGrath described him as bigger than life and somebody who positively impacted anybody who met him or frolicked with him.
