Also, I think you are stretching it to say MacGill was a lot better than Saqlain. I liked MacGill's ability to take a swag of wickets and I wouldn't have changed him for Saqlain during Australia's run so I probably would narrowly have MacGill in front, but the other team already has Hadlee and Waqar likely to take a heap of wickets so Saqlain (who could still take wickets at a decent rate) would be very useful and it wasn't a comparison that I was making anyway.
Your team does have big names - Barry Richards, Andy Roberts, Kapil Dev are All Time Greats and Sangakarra and Inzy are big names too.

Aravinda has a better average, but as I said I think Hooper suffered always playing with the tail, he often lacked support and then would lose his wicket forcing the issue and knowing he will run out of partners.
I was never a big Saqlain fan. I much preferred Mustaq Ahmed to him in terms of Pakistan spinners of the same era.
