The world's most Overrated and Underrated INTL cricketers

Underrated: uhm, Badrinath, Tiwary, Rahane, Mukund, the list goes on and on...

Badri and Tiwari are over their glory days and they were unlucky to be born when no one could get in middle order. The reason why Sehwag had to open.

Rahane is still young and will have opportunities. He is still our best bet with Pujara for future.

There is only one place open in Indian side atm and its being occupied by Raina.
 
Underrated for Australia is now Ricky Ponting, under pressure he is still Australia's only match winning batsman.
Terrible captain though, my 2003 prediction that he is going to be the first Australian captain since Kim Hughes to NOT win Australian Of the Year is still looking a good bet.
Overrated...ummm...the whole Indian team, because they have been playing nearly all their series at home for a long time now, and haven't even been given the chance to fail on the road up until now. South Africa will sort them out.
Also, underrated, Sreesanth, still a bloody good bowler, despite what people might say about him, if he can get wickets in India bowling like he does, then he can get wickets anywhere, you'll see. Should still be in the one day team too, that useless trio they keep trundling out is going to cost India the world cup.
 
Oh man , i totally forgot the duo of Warner and Pollard in the overrated list. :p

@ PC Indians : It would be nice if you gave other team's views as well . Please dont concentrate on Team India alone . Its my humble request . This will only end up with the entire Indian cricket team being overrated

Keiron Pollard, David Warner, Steven Finn, Umar Akmal, Marcus North, Albie Morkel and the list goes on.................

India

Over Rated: Sir Ravindra Jadeja, Rohit Sharma & Yuvi to some extent.
Under Rated: Dravid,Laxman,Ishant & Kumble.
 
I think Rohit is actually pretty good, he just needs to sort out his attitude and his fitness, his 79 in the 20/20 world cup when everyone else in the team failed dismally in that innings shows he is a talent.
 
Don't know how Dravid is underrated by anyone. He has enough fans on Planetcricket.net and around world.
 
Underrated - Badrinath, Laxman, R. Ashwin, Cheteswar Pujara, Dravid, Irfan Pathan
Overrated - Harbhajan, Yousuf Pathan, Jadeja, Ashok Dinda.

I started watching Badrinath's batting when i was 12 in the hope that his classy innings will be worth national side. But it has been 4 years now and he wasn't given the place he deserved.
 
^Many think he has been overshadowed by Sachin. I am a huge Dravid fan and love to see his defensive batting. Poetry in motion, I must say.
 
I don't know who underrates Dravid. He's been/is an extremely good bordering on world class batsmen.
