5 fast bowlers who can break Glenn McGrath's record of 563 test wickets

Glenn McGrath is one of the best fast bowlers to ever have played the game of cricket. He had been at the heart of Australian dominance starting from the late 90s and stretching forward to the late 2000s. Along with Brett Lee and Jason Gillespie, they had one of the most fearsome fast bowling attacks in the world. His battles with Sachin Tendulkar and Brian Lara are for the ages. McGrath's record of 563 wickets in 124 tests at an average of 21.64 till date remains the highest wickets taken by a fast bowler in Test cricket.
