Most overrated cricketer

[Coronis]

So in conclusion: Viv Richards, right?

Of course, rawr, me hate Viv.

Neil Wagner is greater than any Indian seamer.

AWTA

 

[ataraxia]

AWTA

Also a better hitter than Tim David

 

[Sunil1z]

AWTA

Such a shame he was dropped from the Team against Pakistan (2nd Test).

Then you will say Henry ( bowling average 41 who played in 2nd Test instead of Wagner) is also better than any Indian pacer ever . ?

Larwoods whole deal was he was the only bowler to be able to blunt the GOAT batsman over a series, he deserves immense credit for that alone. He was Bradmans only true challenge as a player if his series averages are anything to go by

Not sure how much grief Grimmet and O'Reilly gave him domestically

Eddie Gilbert (described by Bradman as the fastest bowler he ever faced) bowled him for a duck.

Bradman was caught behind off Cowie (NZ vs Sth Aus) for 11 the only time he faced him.

Tebdulkar, there are multiple web sites by sporting sites that rate him as the cricketer of all time. Bradman, Sobers and Grace are clearly above him, and Smith is arguable better or on par.

TBF, Smith is nowhere near if you apply casual fan logic of all cricket than just tests. And yes, he is definitely over-rated by fanbois on the internet but not within the cricket community itself IMO.

I mean the answer to this thread probably is Jimmy tbh, if we're talking about the general public

This.

You talk to the average cricket fan in the UK and a fair number of pundis genuinely consider him the best fast bowler ever.

Where is the lie?

Lockie ferguson, always see kiwis wanting him selected across formats. Interesting that he's often not picked even when fit. Always is expensive in white ball even if he's always good for a couple of wickets

He's one of the first names on the white ball team sheet since 2018 or so. Definitely wanted him picked in Test cricket before he was, not so much right now. Has been a bit flat since his return.

Had a fantastic odi wc and outperformed rivals in domestic red ball. Was always a worthy name to discuss.

 

[Flem274*]

Neesham, agreed. Vastly overrated

Haha on cw he probably is since we tend to stick up for guys who seem randomly on the outer.

Nz definitely rate him a bit lower than he should be in terms of how happily they dropped him after the 2019 wc.

Overall it's probably either Tendulkar or Anderson. Maybe close to a billion Indians consider Sachin better than Bradman. I've also seen English posters deny that their media/former players don't overrate Anderson, which doesn't seem true because I've seen several former English players say Anderson is the best ever. Alec Stewart said he was better than McGrath and Marshall.

That can’t be true cos a sizeable portion consider Dravid and Kohli > Sachin
Then there’s the boomer Sunny > Sachin crowd

There is also a large group of people who believe that the best cricketer from India is Kapil and not Sachin.

But we all know the answer to it.

This all sounds true, and my biggest takeaway from it is that people are idiots

Most of them yes

Former England captain and wicketkeeper Alec Stewart too praised Anderson and also went on to say that once Anderson crosses McGrath’s tally of 563, he can be termed as the best fast bowler ever.

“He’s a great of the game,” Stewart told BBC Radio 5 live. “His longevity is remarkable. Once he goes past McGrath, he is 100 per cent the best fast bowler ever and he deserves that. If he plays another four years, he can take another 130 to 150 wickets.”

Anderson can become the best fast bowler ever, feels Alec Stewart

Those two crowds are the hipster bunch,not the overwhelming majority like Sachin fans. And they all think their guy is better than Bradman too.
