Steve Magoffin Sheffield Shield record is also excellent - he is among Western Australia's top 10 leading wicket takers despite only playing 6 seasons with 190 wickets @27.08 and belatedly played one season for Queensland taking 23 wickets @ 16.6 from only 6 games. Perhaps he took more wickets in England because the cricket wasn't as intense or perhaps, like a fine wine Magoffin simply got better with age. Remembering how keen he was to learn and improve I'm going to say that there was a fair bit of the latter. In the history of Australian cricket there can't be many quick bowlers with better records who haven't played test cricket. There is always talk of the terrific batsmen like Law, Siddons, Love and Hodge who couldn't crack the Australian team, conceivably Mags is their fast bowling equivalent?
