FORMER Worcestershire fast bowler Glenn McGrath today joined an elite group of bowlers when he claimed his 400th career Test wicket.

The Australian paceman dismissed Pakistan captain Waqar Younis in the third Test at Sharjah to become only the eighth bowler to reach the 400 mark.

The 32-year-old, who will spearhead Australia's attack in the forthcoming Ashes series against England, will overtake West Indies legend Curtly Ambrose with another six scalps.
