I haven't got a list of over/under rated players...but to answer the question in your sig - haven't you been watching him play for the last 15 years?

I'm sure there's a thread about 500 pages long on this somewhere, although it may be a few months old.

Over Rated
Monty Panesar (come on, he's done well, but people are going on about him like he's a left armed Warne)
AB de Villiers
Steve Harmison
Brett Lee
Irfan Pathan

Under Rated
Rahul Dravid
Justin Kemp
Jacques Kallis
Chaminda Vaas
Graham Smith (yeah he's been absolutely god awful recently, but people seem to forget what he achieved below the age of 23, probably due to hating him)
Mark Boucher (may not score loads, but he always scores such valuable runs and he is a very good keeper)
Mahela Jayawardene

 

[silentstriker]

I don't think its possible for Irfan Pathan to be rated below where he currently is in the eyes of most people.

I am not allowed to trash him until tomorrow, so I won't give my opinion on it.

Until tommorow, 3:30 pm, the time the game ended. Till then, won't you like to explain to the members how great he is.

Overrated (test cricket)

Tendulkar One of the greatest batsmen of all time, no way is he overated
Gilchrist
Ponting Pretty much same as Sachin, but not quite as good.
Brett Lee
Graeme SMith
Harmison He was the best bowler in the world about 2 years ago, suddenly hes overated because in a poor run of form.
Zaheer KHan Underated in my opinion.
Irfan Pathan
TRescothick One of England's most underated players of recent times
Shame Watson's bowling
Makhaya Ntini Severley underated, especially in recent times.
Shaun Pollock Same as Ntini, have you seen his ODI record?
Fidel Edwards
Chris Gayle A very good player, did you see him bat in the CT?
Saurav Ganguly Used to a great, but just ran out of it.
Mohammad Sami Who rates him?

Mark Boucher (very good keeper and handy for runs)

Darren Ganga
Corey Collymore

Overrated
Matthew Hayden
Brett Lee (test cricket)
Daniel Vettori

Didn't do any of the subcontinent nations because I don't know much about them.

 

[thierry henry]

Overrated
Daniel Vettori (one of the worst test bowlers in the world based on the last 5 or 6 years of his career)

 

[silentstriker]

Just as a side note, I found religion when I first saw an SRT cover drive.

What did you find when Shaun Udal got him out, emptiness?

Unending rage.

Overrated:
Watson - All this hype about something that isn't very special at all. If he ever gets on the park to disprove me, then fair enough. Don't think he will be much of a test player
Harmison
Sami
Akhtar
Agarkar
Pathan
G.Smith
Clarke

Underrated:
Bracken
Bravo
Hogg
Jon Moss
Abdul Razzaq (seems to have gone off the boiler)

can't think of any more right now; did I mention Bracken??

 

[grant28]

bracken is the most underrated at the moment.
how often do u see him get 3-30 odd or 2-20 odd - most of the time. his nickname should be mr consistent. plus he turned the champions trophy final around when he got 2 or 3 wickets in his opening spell when gayle and windies were on a roll.
