Remember when I used to say Mitchell Johnson was nowhere near good enough to play for Australia and all the Aussies used to slag me off for it? All I can see these days is Australian's now saying that Mitch isn't good enough to play for Australia....

Lesson to be learned from this; I'm always right.
 
yusf pathan took him to see some action pack games but was not that good in the series
hope for asia cup:)
 
in india...it would have to be Dhoni and Yuvraj.
rohit sharma too is quickly climbing up the overrated ladder !
 
I have to say, Broad is overrated, sure. He's a great player, but hes being called "World Class" already by some england supporters here. I'm not at all saying Broad couldn't evolve into a world class player. In fact I have no doubt that he someday will.

But saying he is already "World Class" shows that the word gets thrown around easily

Not in my opinion. I very rarely use the word world class. I use it for Broad saying he could be. Broad has already shown he is a very good bowler. So when he does well, what do you do? Praise him of course. If he continues the way he is bowling he will be world class very soon. Just give the guy a bloody break! He's such a great talent and everyone is calling him overrated. You lot are weird!

Thats what i said.. He can, and probably will me world class in the future, but not yet
 
Kevin Pieterson. No doubt he is overrated. He is not what i thought of him and he should have maintained consistent by now. He struggles against good bowling attack more often.

Look at his stats against all nations (notably Australia - McGrath, Warne) and rethink your statement.

Broad isn't World Class and he's much better in ODIs than in Tests but he's only 21 and he's shown glimpses of World Class potential.

How can Mitchell Jonhson be overrated when no-one rates hin at all?
 
Lots of people rated Johnson before his shockers. Many people still wanted him in our ODI team after our CBS loss. The media rate him like the 2nd coming of Lillee, Ponting has a huge crush on him as do the selectors. So there is your list of people that rate him.
 
I was thinking more of the members of this board of this forum and Australian cricket fans in general. Of course, if your Board of Selectors and National captain like him then Australia are stuffed.
 
Well if picking him in your ODI 11 counts as being rated then there are a few on this forum that rate him.
 
Whole pakistan team, they should stick to what they're good at.

Oh hang on there isnt anything...
