Top 5 Worst Altercations in Cricket History
3. Glenn McGrath (Australia) and Ramnaresh Sarwan (West Indies):
The incident which took place in 2003 is one of the ugliest fights one could ever see. It was the same match in which West Indies had created history by chasing down the highest score in the history of test cricket. Prior to the series, McGrath was having a torrid time on personal front as his wife, Jane McGrath was diagnosed with breast cancer. Mcgrath who is one of the classic Australian sledger’s questioned Sarwan “What does Brian Lara’s d**k taste like? Without taking much time, Sarwan replied: “Why don’t you ask your wife?”.
With his fingers pointing at Sarwan, Mcgrath was disgusted and exploded “If you ever mention my wife again, I’ll f*****g rip your f*****g throat out”. Millions of people witnessed the disgraceful blot on the name of the game.
It is notable that Sarwan was unaware about McGrath’s wife illness. As the match finished, both the guys reconciled over rum and coke in a chilled conversation. McGrath always regretted the incident in his life.
