He's not saying they are underrated. He's following up on sifter's post and saying that Border "really helped shape those younger guys".
Most under-rated cricketers

No, I think he's following up his underated thread post with more Aussie players. Basically, there's a urinal, and he's using it

Another under rated player is Fawad Alam. He is one of the most consistent performer in Pakistan Domestic averaging 58.6 in FC but still he never considered as a proper test player for Pakistan. I don't know what's the reason but he should be in the team ahead of Shafique and Azhar Ali but now he is always neglected and players like Farhat are always in the team no matter how bloody bad they are.
His little test career so far is pretty good scoring 250 runs at an average of 41 with 168 as highest while his ODI average of 37.6 is better then most of the present Pakistani batsmen. One thing must be noted that he usally bats at number 5-6.
He must be in Pakistan's test squad if not in ODIs.

Another fact is that his FC average of 58.6 is all time highest in Pakistan's Domestic circuit.

I find Dean Headley is often under-rated and lumped in with various English failures of that era. It was actually injury that did for him and halted a pretty promising start in which he performed well and got some good players out...

He was sort of a prototype for Simon Jones. Both of them did well, but once injured they never recovered.
Oh good old Hodge, you could throw him in the other thread for being overrated as well. Hard to know exactly where he was at, was rightfully dropped from the ODI side at the time but should have got a gig for the WC after his performances in domestic cricket. Most definitely should have played T20 cricket. Test cricket was an interesting one, the selectors believed he had a weakness and dropped him based on that in the process ignoring his previous runs.
How can Shane Warne be a Under-ratted player???
He is the second best bowler in history of test Cricket,
He is a Legend

Well, From Sri Lanka
Suraj Randiv as a Bowler
Nuwan Kulasekara as a Batsman
Tilakaratne Dilshan as a Bowler(He is very overrated as a Batsman)
Farveez Maharoof- He is not even re-tired yet isn't he,
Selector just doesn't pick Him

Why is he not selected? he is just 27, he is a very good player for limited overs cricket. He bowled brilliantly against India, took a 5 wicket haul and then he was dropped after just 1 more match, he also contributes with the bat in the lower order, can't understand why he isn't selected.
Underrated by selectors, overrated by fans and media.
Australia's had plenty of good domestic batsmen, it just so happened that Australia started losing when Brad Hodge was in the runs. If Australia had continued winning, no one would have given a stuff about Brad Hodge. Compare for example, Dean Jones of the mid 90s or Michael Bevan of the early 2000s or Darren Lehmann for basically his whole career or Jamie Cox or Simon Katich or Matthew Elliott or Jamie Siddons. Those guys made HEAPS of Shield runs, but Australia was winning and there was no need for them in the team so the armchair selectors were silent...
