The world's most Overrated and Underrated INTL cricketers

[Gaurav_7]

Depends on which Ishant turns up to play on a given day...?

 

[Adarsh]

Most overrated - Daniel Vettori

Most overrated - Daniel Vettori

Please provide a reason if you feel a great cricketer like him is over rated

 

[AbhishekS]

Morne Morkel is undoubtedly too under-rated.

 

[BackwardPoint]

Overrated: Steve Smith, Phil Hughes, Mitchel Johnson and any Australian spinner post Warne

 

[Cricketman]

What ever happened to Beau Casson? They were hailing him as the next Warne too...

 

[Haarithan]

What ever happened to Beau Casson?

He plays grade cricket for some local sydney side . he is not even in the BLue's first string squad

underrated-Alistair Cook,before this current ashes series all you would hear about Cook is about how his place is in danger,technical issues,etc...

only one player has scored more test 100s before the age of 26 than Cook,one S Tendulkar

+1000

Aus would've felt they had a psychological advantage over him going to in the series.

 

[AbhishekS]

Why do people start rating a cricketer so highly for a good performance in the Ashes? Cook certainly is very good, but he is being over-rated now. He needs to prove himself in more than one series.

 

[Varun]

TBH, I have always considered him a worthy test batsman.

 

[Lee1981]

sreesanth, overated and basically i think he is a tit.

He certainly has !!! He proved it in the tough South African conditions last year (something even the likes of Sehwag have struggled to) . Got the captain's armband from Strauss for the tour of bangladesh , fired there with 3 ODI fiftys (only 3 ODIs were played) and 2 test Hundreds (only 2 tests were played) . Just had a difficult summer in England against Bangladesh and Pakistan (not to mention the umpiring decisions he had against bangladesh were so very harsh) . He is certainly Underrated to me .

 

[Dipak]

Steven Smith overrated

Ask anyone about him outside Aus and Eng and they will tell that is the Graeme's brother

----------

People tend to see the first match of the player a judge him

 

[Haarithan]

Yeah smithy is definitely over rated . I heard some people calling him the next " Shane Warne " . Absolute joke/disgrace

Not to mention his 60 and104* on debut in Nagpur 2006,mark my words this lad will be the first Englishman to 10k runs.

...And Steve Smith does not look like a test cricketer at all,my 2yr old niece has a better batting technique than him,he's nothing more than a bits'n'pieces player...
