I agree on Sachin. People build him up like he's better than Bradman. But really, he's not that great.
While I'm at it, most overrated team in the last 10 years-India from 2000-2004 Easily.

Another one for the humor forum.
Who undermines Smith or Vaas ????? As for Saqlain well he is history and S.Malik well he doesnt done anything significant against countries other than India.
As for Sehwag well he is the best in the business(test opener)now.
Also anybody who can bowl at 100 MPH cant be overrated and besides he is the only descent bowler now in the Pakistani setup

blatant cheating is what Warne did.
Murali's action would make no difference imo, and if the officials say it's legitimate you have no right to criticise him.
Strauss is a good player. Who many cricketers have hit 4 4s off of mcGrath in a ODI?
His test average is very good and he is a good batsmen.
Over-rated? Not many imo.
In a way McGrath his bowling is amazing but people don't attack him because of his name.
I don't mean overrated by his ability btw.

how can sachin be overrated if he has the most centuries in EACH form of cricket. Most runs in odis over 3000 difference and the only man to play over 100 test to have an average of over 55. stop talking nonsense. he isnt average, he is great. lara and tendulkar can't be touched. they are the best. tendulkar, lara then a huge gap between the rest.
sehwag is not overrated either. although his 2nd innings average in test is poor poor poor. just like lara's

well Sachin is a BIT overrated(but only in India because they consider him a god), BUT 34 in tests, 37 in ODIs in definitly no joke NO ONE is near his record in ODIs, the 2nd person is Ganguly-22 Also he is the 7th youngest player to start in International and he has been in India ever since. Also most Man of the Match awards-50 ( the 2nd is Jayasuriya-35!),along with the 2nd most Career matches-348,Most Runs-13642,along with many fastest thousand runs in his career.
Overrated-Shoaib Akhtar, Michael Clarke,Brian Lara( only on the fact that when he plays West Indies LOSES),Muralitharan(only on the fact that some consider him a great of all-time)
Underrated-Rahul Dravid ( has led India out of MANY holes), Shaun Pollock, Shane Warne (considering how many people hate him and forget how destructive of leg-spin he is, I mean HE was the one who brought wrist-spin back into cricketing world with class too )

And he was punished. Murali had the rules changed for him. Another example of the ICCs love affair with the Sub-Continent.Sureshot said:

rahul dravid isnt underrated. he is considered one of the world's best batsmen. tendulkar, lara, dravid/kallis/ponting for #3 spot. but the most reliable batsmen in the world is rahul dravid.
