Former England captain Mike Atherton admits rivalry with Australia fast bowler Glenn McGrath affected him mentally.

The pair faced each other between 1994 and 2001 - McGrath claiming the scalp of Atherton's wicket 19 times, with plenty of verbals thrown the England captain's way whilst at the crease.

McGrath is unapologetic regarding his actions, stating: "if you have a bit of a hold over the opening batsman, it helps my cause, it helps our cause".
