Is Jadeja the most underrated cricketer going?

[OverratedSanity]

Shakib not touring SA again is his own fault but yea the overall point is correct. In the limited opportunities he got against Australia and England, he won bangaldesh tests against them.

Bangladesh barely playing Tests at home after they figured out rank turners could jag them wins was very very disappointing.

Haha yeah that was a fun couple of series for sure.

Sui generis

An important series for Sir to leap ahead of pretenders like Imran Khan etc. Does he care?

Crosses 2000 runs now.

One of the only 3 cricketers in history to average less than 25 with the ball and more than 35 with the bat, over a decent sample size.

Legend !

The only cricketer I can think of who's possibly even more underrated than him at the moment is Ravi Jadeja.

 

[Noumenon]

In this series itself, Jadeja ought to be promoted to number 5. Much like how ENG did with Stokes. He'd contribute more than he does batting with the tail.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

He's definitely not underrated on here

Are any on the list spinners?

 

[Arachnodouche]

Too bad he's stuck with a hopeless lower order and has to resort to slogging at the end. Should be getting closer to three figures with a little more help from the other end.

 

[Jayro]

Yes

 

[Flem274*]

still a pretend shakib tbh

 

[Lillian Thomson]

His cricketing prowess is largely immaterial, he just looks too much like Bob Hoskins.

Sir Ravi J: The quality No. 7 memelords never thought he could be

The allrounder has evolved into a consistent scorer of Test runs, a run-out specialist, and is possibly the second-best spinner in the format

The best writer on the sport in business agrees.

In fact, just as the global batting averages were about to drop, Jadeja took an enormous leap.

Let me put it this way, when the global batting mark was a normal 31.76 from 2013 to 2017, Jadeja averaged 29.40. Since then a global pace-bowling pandemic has dropped the averages down to 28.08, and he has upped his average to 50.88.

No one around the world can make a run right now, and a No. 7 everyone used to laugh at is averaging 50.

I'm filthy about it.

Kimber does ok with slicing and dicing raw numbers and presenting them in digestible ways for simpletons. No need to exaggerate his writing prowess which is passable at best. Some of his conclusions in this article itself are laughable.

 

[honestbharani]

I dont see anyone better around. So I stand by what I said. Especially on crapinfo.

This is supposed to be a bad thing?

Probably. The same way you'd have kids getting excited with boiled candies. What do you think?
