Sunday 8 November 2015 13:48, UK
Glenn McGrath is the leading wicket-taker among pace bowlers in Test cricket, with 563 scalps, many of them English batsmen.
So, in an Ashes summer, we tracked him down to get his top tips for bowling and to hear how he rose to success from humble beginnings growing up on a farm in New South Wales...
In episode one - which you can watch now on Sky Go - McGrath reflects on his Test debut in 1993 - just four years after moving to Sydney in a Caravan - as well as talking about his fast-bowling heroes, his run-up and how he was able to extract extra bounce from pitches.
In episode two - which you can watch now on Sky Go - Glenn discusses his bowling grip; how he used to assess a wicket; his slower-ball variations; bowling alongside the legendary Shane Warne; Australia's glory days; and the establishment of the McGrath Foundation.
In episode three - which you can watch now on Sky Go - Glenn talks all things Ashes, including his excellent record at Lord's, how he trod on a ball at Edgbaston in 2005, and Australia's 5-0 win over England in 2006-07, as well as about his success against left-handers.
