Australian cricketers who go for less runs per over than McKay in T20 cricket:

Mitchell Starc
Shane Watson
Pat Cummins
Ryan Harris
Ben Hilfenhaus
Brad Hogg
Mitchell Johnson
Doug Bollinger
Nathan Hauritz
Steve O'Keefe
John Wayne Hastings
Xavier Doherty
James Pattinson
Peter Siddle
Dan Christian
Glenn Maxwell
Dirk Nannes
Dave Hussey
Steve Smith
Ben Laughlin
Mitch Marsh
James Faulkner
Mike Hussey
Chris Swan
Jayde Herrick
Luke Doran
Aaron O'Brien
Chris Lynn
Michael Beer
Nathan Lyon
Aaron Heal
Josh Hazelwood
Kane Richardson
Alister McDermott
Michael Hogan
Matt Johnston
Nathan Rimmington
Dom Thornely
Jason Krejza


And probably a stack more; I got bored eventually. I'm not saying they're all better T20 bowlers than him, but the sheer volume of the list (which isn't even finished in all likelihood) tends to suggest that McKay keeping it tight in T20 cricket is a myth. He bowls length pies; if there's one good thing T20 cricket has brought to the world, it's an environment in which that sort of bowling gets punished.
