Maybe someone like Headley Verity? Not sure of his record here but I know he was always rated very highly by those who played against him

Yeah. These two come ahead of Marshall even. In fact, Im not sure Marshall is even a given in this side.

Marshall’s only big tour in Australia was in 84/85 against a fairly ordinary side.
Wasim had two good tours in 90 and 95 against strong teams.
Holding had three excellent tours there too.

Heh. I haven't actually bought a new version of ICC since before lockdown so my game probably doesn't even have a few of those.

Rishabh Pant surely keeps for the ROW team? Also, VVS Laxman could also get in.

I think ABD is better but Pant is a good shout.

Probably Underwood or Gibbs if you want a specialist spinner.

5 pacers is overkill. But I like your batting lineup. Here is my XI:
Sutcliffe
Hobbs
Viv
Hammond
Tendulkar
Sobers
ABD - keeper
Hadlee
Akram
Holding
Ambrose
Holding has a magnificent record in Australia and is a speed merchant, you need one of those. Akram has better bowling and and batting returns than Marshall and played stronger sides too. It's touch and go between Imran and Wasim but I think Wasim edges it.

Yeah Gibbs a decent shout. Had a good series in 60/61 in that tied test tour. Not sure his precise numbers here. I think Underwood averaged about 30 here

Is there any foreign spinner with a decent enough wicket haul in Australia who averaged less than 25?

Some pre-War blokes but that doesn't really count.

And next to those pre-war blokes is Jadeja who also won't count for @subshakerz whatever the criteria may be.Bowling records | Test matches | Cricinfo Statsguru | ESPNcricinfo.com

That's insane. It truly is a spinner's graveyard.Bowling records | Test matches | Cricinfo Statsguru | ESPNcricinfo.com

Just reinforces the point that playing specialist spinners is useless here.

Will count for more now that the utter direness of away spinners is pretty clear in Australia.
Based on this, Mushtaq Ahmed's 18 wickets in the mid-nineties is the best performance by a spinner in a series in the country in history perhaps.
25 wickets, average under 35. Since 1900.
