5 talented but unlucky cricketers

#3 Stuart MacGill

Stuart MacGill had better stats than Warne when they played together

Stuart MacGill is a former Australian cricketer who lost his place in the national side due to the dominance of the legendary Shane Warne. However, in a few matches, they played together and shattered the opposition team with their might leg-spin. During the 16 games in which they played together, MacGill performed way better than Shane Warne. He picked up 82 wickets from that 16 matches while Warne picked up 71 wickets.

MacGill even had a better average of 22.10 as compared to Warne’s 31 runs per wicket. However, he was always considered as the secondary spinner after Shane Warne as he only got the chance to play when Warne was unavailable. He made his comeback as a full-time spinner in 2007 after Warne’s retirement but it was too late. Thus, MacGill had the talent but just with a hard luck as he got his national call-up after the Warne era.
