Top Five Most Underrated Cricketers Ever.

[Flem274*]

Andy Flower and Younis Khan get forgotten about a lot.

 

[JBMAC]

Tom Graveney
Alvin Kallicharan
Rohan Kanhai
Basil D'Oliviera
Peter Van de Merwe

You most probably come up with five from each playing nation

 

[OverratedSanity]

Will pick one from each nation

Graham Thorpe
Shaun Pollock , Daryll Cullinan (somehow only remembered aas Warne's bunny)
Thilan Samaraweera
Mohinder Amarnath
Younis Khan
Andy Flower
Sylvester Clarke
Jack Cowie
Bill Lawry

 

[Cabinet96]

Home track bully more like, played some stunning knocks on dustbowls under pressure

They're only considered dust bowls when Murali and Herath bowl on them.

 

[kyear2]

Younis Khan
Rohan Kanhai

 

[African Monkey]

Shaun Pollock
Chaminda Vaas
Thilan Samaraweera
Saeed Anwar
Paul Collingwood

There's many more but those are 5 that come to my head.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Hashan Tillakaratne

 

[kiwiviktor81]

Oh and Heath Streak.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Clive Rice ( was as good as the 4 great allrounders of the 80s)
Ian Smith
Chris Broad

 

[the big bambino]

Yeah was thinking Rice but also Proctor and Richards bcos of the fewer than 10 tests thing.

 

[Debris]

Charles Bannerman. The fact that he still holds the record for highest score by an Australian on debut and also highest percentage of runs scored in an innings is just amazing

 

[kyear2]

Ted Dexter.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Alan Davidson

[Jarquis]

Wg.

 

[Burgey]

Also Ian Healy. **** if a commentator but the bloke was a wonderful keeper who's been understandably overshadowed by his successor.

Yeah Healy's definitely in the Top 5 of the ATG keepers (as a whole package) for mine. Could also bat too.

 

[Gob]

marto

Yes, Davidson definitely underrated.

 

[doesitmatter]

Mohinder Amarnath
Dileep Vengsarkar (World No1 at one point)
Syed Kirmani
Gundappa Vishwanath (6000 beautiful runs..)

 

[Red]

He was such a great keeper.

Gilchrist definitely overshadowed him and his skill was forgotten to an extent. Healy was named in the Aust team of the 20th century the year after his last test.
