‘Ooh ahh’ McGrath to Seven ___________________________________________________ Glenn McGrath to commentate Tests ___________________________________________________ (5 July, 2018) Australian cricketing great Glenn McGrath, will join Australia’s new home of cricket, Channel 7. McGrath, the world’s highest Test wicket taker among fast bowlers with 564, was renowned for his impeccable line, length and bounce that regularly knocked over some of the best batsman of all time. Glenn McGrath commented: “I am excited to join the Channel 7 team and represent the fast bowlers’ brigade in the commentary box. It’s going to be a great summer of cricket and I am proud to join Ricky, Flem and Slats in this new era for the game.” Channel 7 Head of Cricket Dave Barham said: “Glenn is one of this country’s greatest ever sportsmen and we are rapt he is joining Seven. He will provide commentary across all our Test Matches this summer, four matches against India and two against Sri Lanka. No one speaks with more authority about fast bowling than Glenn and fans will be treated to his unique insights and vast knowledge all summer on Seven.” The McGrath signing follows the announcement recently that Australia’s highest ever run-scorer and former captain, Ricky Ponting, will call Test matches and BBL on Seven, alongside Damien Fleming and Michael Slater. Seven’s historic six-year agreement with Cricket Australia runs from 2018 through to 2024, includes domestic free-to-air broadcast rights to all the Test Matches as well as 43 of the 59 BBL matches each season. For the first time, Test Matches and BBL will be all at the one place - the Seven Network - the new home of Australian Cricket. Cricket on Seven, Live, Free and for everyone.

Conclusion: This research concludes that the top batsmen after 20th century have an edge over top batsmen before 20th century. Keywords: Bowling Average, Cricket, Overall Batting Average, Weighted Batting Average, Wickets How to cite this article: Joshi P, Raizada S (2020): Comparative analysis of top test batsmen before and after 20th century, Ann Trop Med & Public Health; 23(S17): SP231738. DOI: http://doi.org/10.36295/ASRO.2020.231738 1. Introduction: Cricket as a game has evolved as an intense competition after its invention in early 17th century. Truth be told, a progression of Codes of Law has administered this game for more than 250 years. Much the same as baseball (which could be called cricket's cousin in light of their likenesses), cricket's fundamental element is the technique in question and that is the primary motivation behind why cricket fans love the game to such an extent.

This year was particularly special for the Foundation, as in January we marked an important milestone – 10 years of the Pink Test. The tidal wave of support was nothing short of phenomenal. From the passion of our partners at Cricket Australia and the SCG Trust, through to the show of support from the NSW Police to the 750 volunteers who turned out to help us fundraise and the response of the public who continued to embrace our cause and dress in their best pink outfits - it was an extraordinary moment and really brought home how iconic the Pink Test has become! This year we set ourselves our most ambitious Pink Test target ever – to raise $1.3m – and thanks to the generosity of all involved we were thrilled to beat the target and hit $1.35m! This allows us to fund 10 McGrath Breast Care Nurses who will support 1,000 individuals and families going through breast cancer in the coming year.
