Most underrated cricketer

[TheJediBrah]

I have a policy that whatever the TJB opinion the opposite is true.......on the odd occasion I found myself agreeing with him, you take 5 mins, go away and think about it some more and you find......yep both wrong. It's a fail safe method tbh.

Adders has lots of friends IMO

He is probably not the most underrated but I always felt Gillespie was a really good bowler especially with the majority of his career in 00s and is not quite given the same due when he is talked about.

In the Australian general public you often see Brett Lee rated higher than Gillespie which is ridiculous

Agreed. When our members voted for the Best 40 bowlers, Gillespie made the list but Lee didn't. This is proof positive that CW members know more than the general public.

Chris Woakes - probably the greatest living sportsman.

Nathan Lyon - I personally refuse to rate him at all, so on average he's probably slightly underrated.

Clem Hill.

Be sure to right this wrong by voting for the team that picks him in every draft.

Answer is obviously Jadeja

Richie Richardson. I mean, he's not in the ATG league, but he is never mentioned alongside the Mwaughs, Gowers or whoevers that were almost, couldvebeen great.

Likewise Azharuddin

When poster A says in this thread that player X is underrated, this by definition means there is at least one poster B who doesn't rate player X as highly as poster A. So in their eyes, player X is overrated by poster A. So immediately poster B should mention player X in overrated players thread. And this works vice versa too. So basically any player should be mentioned in both threads or neither thread.

@mods please merge the two threads

Ankit is our very own Ravi Ashwin of this forum. The man with smarter brain. Given Ashwin gets all the limelight and Ankit doesn't, it's clear who is underrated and overrated.

Likewise Azharuddin

His problem was more home/away performances. That and ye olde matchfixing might have something to do with it. Quite the player when on song though of course...

Sanath Jayasuria.

With the massive shift in batting styles today where power hitting is no more a novelty, most may forget the impact he had on the game. After all what is so special about that 189 at Sharjah when Gill hammered a 200 just few days back?

Old time cricket followers clearly remember his ODI dominance in 2000s.
