people always put mcgrath in the slow category when if you look at his speeds he was regularly between 135kph-140kph, a bit quicker than guys like nazmul, rasel, vaas, ian harvey, adam dale, nathan bracken. hadlee also had a bit of pace when he chose to use it. but your point is still valid, mediums and medium-fast bowlers can be very effective.
