The former Australian great Glenn Mcgrath knew how to tackle the batters. Recently, he had to tackle a python in his home, which is different than tackling batters. The former pacer from Australia, who is known for his accuracy as a pacer, would have never thought himself to be dealing with a python. But being in a country like Australia which is known as a home for some of the deadliest species, Mcgrath showed his capabilities to tackle vicious snakes.  

The former World Cup winner took to his social media to upload a video of the incident. As McGrath posted the footage, a lot of fans were scared to see what the former Australian great had to deal with. Others appreciated how McGrath not just tackled it, but safely transported it out of his home. The video on the internet went viral and had a lot of shares by the fans. 

'Pythons safely released back into the bush' - Glenn McGrath

The Instagram post of McGrath had the caption “After plenty of encouragement and support from @saraleonmcgrath all 3 Coastal Carpet Pythons that were in the house were safely released back into the bush #carpetpython #snakecatcher #notthebestfootwear." The 53-year-old confirmed that the python was safely transported out of his house. 

The tall pacer was known for his economical spells in cricket. There were hardly any instances where the former Australian quick was hit mercilessly by batters. When they did, they became sensations. Such was the legacy of the pacer, who won a hat trick of ODI World Cups and a Champions Trophy from 1999 to 2007. McGrath was one of his kind who showed that pace was not everything a bowler needed.  

As the 2023 ODI World Cup is nearing its commencement, the players, fans, and the former cricketers are gearing up for the big tournament. McGrath gave his prediction for the big tournament and picked his four semifinalists in the tournament. The former World Cup winner chose India, Australia, Pakistan, and England as the four semifinalists in the tournament to be held in India.
