Shane Warne vs Wasim Akram

I have McGrath as my third best fast bowler but it is very obvious that McGrath has holes in his record.
1. Against the second best team of his era, his record is just mediocre.
17 Tests. 57 wkts @ 27.3 and 2 5-Fers.
2. His record in SL & Pak
in SL : 4 Tests. 10 wickets @ 29
in Pak : 5 Tests. 19 wickets @ 31
3. Just one 5-Fer in 17 Tests in Asia

His SA record is not mediocre. It's not great but far from mediocre. In Asia, his record in IND is great which was the best batting team of his era. It's true though he could be a bit neutralized on flatter asian wickets.
But MaCo's record isn't perfect either

Actually he didn't that much. His record in SA is actually pretty good. At home lies the issue:
1994: 1 match 2 wkts @31 avg
1997-98: 2 matches 4 wkts @34 avg
2001-02: 3 matches 14 wkts @25 avg
2005-06: 3 matches 8 wkts @40.63

that's better, but it seems like his struggles against them were home limited.

This is astonishingly stupid. For most of Wasim's career (until the mid/late 90s), WI were either the strongest or second strongest team in the world and Akram averaged like 21 against them in that timeframe. And he only played 4 games vs SA.

In fact, India and England were pretty mid for most of Akram's career. So if anything he had way worse numbers vs the worse teams than he did vs the best. You're all backwards here.

As a spinner*
Warne was definitely the better spinner. Marshall was unproven in that sector. Hope you can agree.

West Indies in the early 90s clearly has inferior output to Australia and India, it's closer to England's than it is to India's or Australia'sThis is astonishingly stupid. For most of Wasim's career (until the mid/late 90s), WI were either the strongest or second strongest team in the world and Akram averaged like 21 against them in that timeframe.
