Agree with others on Wagner, if he bowled that medium pace short rubbish to Hayden, Ponting, Gilchrist etc he'd be laughed out of the country.
You answered your own question
For the supposed next best to Bradman he is a long way off even handling Wagner, a 130km/hr trundler, how many of them did England roll out against us in the 90s and 00s?

Take a look how much better Smith has handled spin especially in India which arguably an Australian batsmen biggest test.
Steve Smith in India averages 60
Ponting in India averaged 26
Gilchrist in India averaged 28
Hayden in India averaged 51
All batsmen have some sort of deficiency even take Hayden. In the three countries that seam the most England, NZ, SAF Hayden averaged 38,24,38 respectively which is bang average, infect below par
