Australian cricket legend Glenn McGrath impressed fans as he was filmed removing one of three pythons that had slithered into his home and casually walking it outside.

The 53-year-old was seen in phone footage as he calmly approached the large reptile that crawled across the hall wearing nothing but a white T-shirt and tracksuit bottoms and armed with a mop.

And the pacer, renowned for his precision and accuracy, apparently had no trouble tackling the snake with a simple mop.

In the video, filmed by his wife of 13 years Sara, he is seen walking up to the serpent which he identified as a Coastal Carpet Python and picking it up by its tail.

McGrath keeps his cool as he raises the python off the floor with the help of the mop but his wife does not sound as confident in his snake-wrangling skills as she can be heard screaming in fear.

She yells at McGrath: “I don’t want to be videoing this. You’re going to get bit, you’re going to get bit! Stop, stop. stop, stop…”

But having already secured the python, he reassures her saying: “He’s fine.”

However, the not-so-convinced wife says: “He’s not fine! He does not look fine!

“I’m not going out with you — good luck,” as McGrath heads for the door with the snake in hand.

He later shared the video with his 197k Instagram followers, with the caption: “After plenty of encouragement & support from @saraleonmcgrath all 3 Coastal Carpet Pythons that were in the house were safely released back into the bush.”

Still images show two more pythons that were found lurking inside the living room and the pantry shortly before McGrath caught them as well.

Coastal carpet pythons are one of the most commonly encountered snakes, and although they are not venomous, their bites can result in significant cuts or punctures.

These pythons, famous for their cream, gold, or black patterns on their scales, can reach lengths of six to 13 feet.
