McGrath the 'greatest fast bowler' I faced: Dravid

Mumbai, Dec 2 (UNI) Legendary Indian cricketer Rahul Dravid has piled on huge appreciations on exalted Australian pacer Glenn McGrath saying him as the 'greatest fast bowler' he faced in his cricketing career.
Addressing mediapersons on the sidelines of inaugurating the Link Lecture Series here lastnight, the 43-year-old said, " He was not mean as he looked, but he could be very very mean with the cricket ball because he gave you nothing. He was one of those guys you, while batting, think how to score a run and where is the extra-run going to come from. He just had that level of accuracy and control."
Knocking some of his exceptional tons against the once feared Australian bowling arsenal, Dravid said, "They (Australia) were the best cricket team in my generation. Amongst them all, the greatest bowler that I played against, not only the greatest Australian bowler, but the greatest fast bowler (that) I played against has to be Glean McGrath."
