Glen Mcgrath, the Australian terrorizer, who put almost all batsman to fear to his disciplined deliveries was known by this name.
As, its the feature with Aussie team that they make nicknames of almost all of their players, so was also the case of Mcgrath. But, he got the name because when he approches for his delivery his stance is that of PIGEON and therefore nicknamed so.
