Sydney: While his pace bowling exploits remain highly praised even till today, Glenn McGrath is facing a lot of criticism after pictures of him next to dead animals emerged online.
Although the pictures are removed from Chipitani Safaris- a game park in South Africa- website, they can still be found online, reported the Sydney Morning Herald on Saturday. The incident had taken place in 2008.
The pictures show McGrath beside two hyenas and a dead buffalo. Another picture also shows him posing with the tusks of an elephant.
The Australian pacer has apologised for his ‘inappropriate’ behaviour, indicating he deeply regrets ‘being involved’ in such activities.

— DarrenWheels (@DarrenWheels) February 21, 2015Really don't know what to make of the Glenn McGrath hunting thing. A good, swift, hopefully sincere apology, but an awful thing to have done
