World's most Over-rated and Under-rated player!

under-rated: Langer and Martyn. Both solid as a rock for Australia these days. We can generally rely on these guys to knuckle down and pull us out of a hole. They are starting to recieve the accolades they deserve now too. They we're amongst the top run scorers of 2004, a great achievement!

and credit has to go to lee, he's definately improving all the time. His odi stats are quite good for a bowler of his type and he'll feature heavily in the test squad as a new generation of Aussie cricketers emerge over the next few years. His stats are bound to improve as the responsibility is heaped on.

B Lee ODI 99 837 64 3955 176 22.47 5-27 7 3 28.5 4.72

also Stuart MacGill is right up there. He's an awesome bowler who would probably be amongst the first picked if he played for any other country!


overrated: ganguly. i can't say i've seen him do anything very special, he's just the captain of a team of good players


IMO anyway
 
Overrated: Jacques Rudolph, Graem Smith, VVS Laxman, Rikki Clarke :D :)
Yuvraj Singh,Craig Mcmillan.

Underrated: Sangakara

Ill add more when i have had some sleep :eek:
 
btw hayden and langer, i think hayden is over-rated and langer is under-rated.
Underrated: Yuvraj, kaif, Pollock, sometimes thorpe, kasper.

Ponting over-rated? you gotta be kidding right? Average of 41+ in ODI's which is amongst the worlds best, and average of 55+ in Test's matches which would have to put him in the top five batsmen in the world. I think he lives up to expectations. Agarkar's not much chop, don't know how you think he's under-rated. Sangakkara is a very fine batsman, he's not under-rated in my view, because i rate him very high. Same as Pollock, great all-rounder, one of the better bowling all-rounders in the world. Again, Lara, same argument as Ponting. I agree with Sami though, I'd rather Rana than him.
 
no, he was underrated quite a bit when england went to sri lanka a year ago, but sort of established himself in asia cup
 
In england the rest of team cannot be overrated as Kevin Peitersen is a great batsman
 
I have only three players who are over-rated...
1) Shoaib Akhtar
2) That guy who broke the 100mph mark
3) Someone called the Rawalpindi Express

Under-rated..
1) Bangladesh. SriLanka was a minnow until they started bashing everyone and now they are a force to be reckoned with. Bangladesh has enough passion in the public that eventually they will come up with a few surprizes. Maybe not in the next few months, but eventually.
2) China. If they really take to cricket, God help us all.
 
overrated -- graeme hick
underrated -- that Bangladeshi bowler. can't remember his name but bowled well when they beat India
 
Ntini overated!???Have you been smoking something.He always seems to be able to take a wicket just when you need him.He puts in a great effort and no wonder he is rated in the top 10.
