What are your XIs of the most overrated and underrated players currently playing Test cricket.
Over-Rated XI:
1) P Hughes
2) V Sehwag
3) any Pakistani batsman
4) R Sarwan
5) Y Singh
6) JP Duminy
7) H Singh / B McCullum
8) S Broad
9) P Siddle / Umar Gul
10) Ishant Sharma (or any Indian seamer apart from Khan)
11) C Martin (or any kiwi seamer)
Cant see how Hughes & Sarwan are over-rated as batsmen. Last i heard they where rated pretty fairly.
Same thing goes for Dumminy, McCullum, Siddle or Gul.
Under-Rated XI:
1) Alastair Cook
2) G Gambhir
3) Hashim Amla
4) T Samarawerra
5) M Guptil
6) B Nash
7) Mahmudullah
8) G Swann
9) R Harris/ M Aamer
10) J Anderson
11) M Asif
You have got to be kidding me! Ricky Ponting, overrated! I like your choice of Gayle in the underrated side though. I don't see how Gambhir is overrated, he hasn't done anything to deserve that tag, although we'll have to wait till he plays overseas!
And Ross Taylor is definitely no underrated....
That was a bit stupid Howsie.
TumTum added 4 Minutes and 38 Seconds later...
And why did you put Shakib al Hasan in both teams? :doh
Yup, I thought of this, but it's not enough to label him as Overrated....Gautam Gambhir is an overrated test batsmen IMO because he's played all of his test cricket (bar the three match test series against New Zealand last year) in the sub-continent, and the pitches in New Zealand were the flattest I've ever seen since becoming a cricket fan.
Well it's not Gambhir's fault he hasn't played much outside the SC.
IMO he will play just as good in Eng, SA and Aus.
And calling Ponting over-rated =
