And every other BD bowlers. We're the best at producing 50+ averaging bowlers (Rubel stands as the very best)

The elephant in the room is that, when you have a pack of bowlers, you tend to arrive at the tail more often, and tail end wickets tend to be cheaper. For a player like Hadlee, he had to arrive at the tail all by himself on most of times. But for McGrath and Marshall there were others to do it. More than McGrath it was Warne who benefited more by having the chance to bowl to the tail more.

McGrath averaged a pathetic 23.35 in games played without Warne.

Murali and Hadlee had to fight to get to the tail, they also got more of said tail.

Warne got most of the tail from McGrath. Also Garner got most of the tail from Maco.

You can check the numbers if you so desire.

It balances out.

With one notable exception: he never needed McGrath to get Liz Hurley.

That is true. What is interesting is that Hadlee and Murali got a lot of the tail from themselves.

Although true, I don't think Garner needed Marshall to get to the tail:

Garner’s numbers are actually remarkably well balanced.
