Trescothic didn't even get close to the ball that McGrath bowled him with, his bat was on off stump

Hardly, it's not a ball you often see him bowl.
The vintage McGrath is the pitch-just-short-of-length-on-off, move-away-3-inches, take-outside-edge, c Gilchrist (\Haddin).
Indeed, I can't ever remember seeing McGrath bowl such a stunning swinging Yorker, except for the one to Kallis at Adelaide 2001\02.

Well done mate. But why oh why did I pick Michael Vaughan a month ago??? :blink:

Congratulations must go Glenn McGrath though, true legend of the game.

On a slightly different note that's one of the best spells I've ever seen after tea on the first day.

It was, indeed, quite phenomenal. On par with Ambrose and McGrath at the WACA, Warne at Brisbane and so on for me. One of the best.

I always thought Vaughn would be a candidate. He chops on a lot of the time, and with McGrath bowling with the slope going down from left to right, I belived it would increase the risk of him cutting too close to his body.
