And Swann averaged 30 which is quite average for a so-called great spinner.

What are you talking about, the guy got 10 wickets in that series at an average of 58. Honestly he was junk.

MacGill for me in my opinion. Again I talk about that strong era in Aust cricket....if it wasn't for Shane Warne playing then MacGill plays more Test cricket.
Played in 44 Test matches
Bowled in 85 Test innings
208 wickets with a bowling average of 29.02
Strike Rate of 54.0
Great stats

Bangladesh in 90s and 00s were minnows? Is that the benchmark?

Maybe . But still believe with batting against spin in a dismal state, Macgill would have enjoyed himself.
Swann for me. He was an outanding off spinner and when you consider that he played most of his cricket in England on pretty unhelpful pitches, his record is excellent.
He also had a good record abroad, apart from Down Under.
Macgill has a really good record and would obviously have played more but for Warne. But he never played in England or S Africa. All his cricket was on helpful pitches at home and in Asia.

I agree, if MagGill is playing now then he is taking 400+ wickets.
Plus, despite Lyon taking 430+ wickets. I dont rate him that highly. He is good but not that good imo. For some reason I have never really rated him that highly. Why.....well imo its because he is one dimensional and bowls roughly the same stuff over and over again. In a stronger era he is getting hammered as batsman would be using their feet and being more attacking. Still can't believe he has taken as many wickets as he has.
Saqlain Mushtaq - I rate him as a better offspin bowler than Lyon imo.

30 is an excellent average for a spinner based in SENA

It's a good average for an Asian spinner too. Murali, Ashwin and Jadeja are the only three Asian spinners of note to average under 28.

They are likely to be better than MacGill too.
