Virender Sehwag, Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid sit either side of Stuart MacGill in this Classic Catches segment from 2003. The calismatic spinner was also known for his brilliant fieldwork as Sehwag, Tendulkar and Dravid became mere spectators to his stunning fieldwork after they were involved in being dismissed off the stunnning catches by the Aussie. Dravid and Tendulkar too are known for their brilliant fieldwork. However, the crazy fieldwork by MacGill and his stunning catches surely had cost them a setback as nothing is more painful than watching oneself getting dismissed in such a fashion.

Earleir this year, MacGill became the second former Test cricketer to begin a high-profile, injury-related legal action against CA in recent years, following in the footsteps of former Australian paceman Nathan Bracken. He has sued CA over earnings that he claims the governing body reneged on paying after his shock retirement in the West Indies in May 2008, which came only months after he was diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome and after a string of other injury troubles, Stuff.co.nz reported.
In December 2014, MacGill also said that even though Ravichandran Ashwin is India’s premier spinner, Karn Sharma‘s inclusion in the playing XI for the first Test against Australia is justified. “There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Ashwin has got a tremendous record in the sub-continent. If you look at the number of five-wicket hauls that he has taken outside of India is a stark contrast. I don’t think he gets enough top spin on the ball to generate the bounce required,” he said.
