Nor argument about Aus having gun team helping McGrath has some merit, but here is the same trend with Ambrose vs Wasim. Again both played at same time and we are not talking about 2 years of peak here and there. It's their entire career.
Ambrose , like McGrath, had majority of career higher than peak rating of Wasim. WI was behind Pakistan when you take entire career of Ambrose.

Again, rating is unbiased, takes account of context like relative contribution in each match, opposition strength etc. There could be problem if we use this method for players playing in different eras, but for same era it's very accurate.
I am simply presenting this to put my point across because not many posters have seen entire 90s. I saw entire career of all three here, I will have no hesitation to put McGrath and Ambrose over Wasim in test format. That's despite me preferring to watch Wasim over other two.
