Jammy is the most under-rated cricketer around. So consistent but so underrated.

[Haarithan]

Not sure how I forgot Kallis and Dravid there, easily the most underrated players ever.

 

[Fenil]

Mahela Jaywardene is underrated too. May be his lack of good form in recent times is the reason for that.

Afridi as a bowler + Saeed Ajmal

 

[barmyarmy]

Simon Katich.

 

[Aoun13]

Afridi as a bowler + Saeed Ajmal

Under-rated? Not at all...
Both usually get all the praise they deserve.
Everyone know that Ajmal, Hafeez and Afridi is at the moment the best ODI spin combination.
------------------------------------------
For me Rahul Dravid as the most under rated player ever. Dravid is a true wall but usually people forget him due to superstars like Sachin and Laxman.

Weirdly, in the UK I'd actually say Dravid is given the respect he deserves. It seems it's in his own country that people criminally overlook him.

Yeah Kallis is one of the greatest all-rounders to ever play the game. He is a modern day Sobers. Superb batsmen, excellent slip fielder and useful bowler. Yet, for some reason, he is often ignored in terms of World XI's etc Essentially he is underrated, but only by idiots

In England, clearly Trott is underated, as regardless of how many runs he scores, people still seem to clamour to drop him.

Anyone got any non-international playing ideas? People who at a domestic level have done enough for International recognition but are ignored/underrated?
