That Woakes didn't make Wisden's 5 Cricketers of the Century was a disgrace.

Gooch called him better than Warne

Babar is pretty good in ODIs though, probably Pakistan's second best ever.

Maybe because putting or mentioning him in the same sentence as others is a blasphemy.

Ask Gooch how he defends the facts that Qadir averages 47.6 overseas with the bowl.
HouHsiaoHsien
International Debutant
Yeah but in tests he gets hyped up by a few guys like Cummins. And Imran said Babar can overtake Kohli(who he considers better than Tendulkar).
sayon basak

Yeah averages 36.9 overseas. A potential Best Batter since Bradman.

What about Sutcliffe?

Sutcliffe, like Richards in this case are underrated and overrated a bit. Not necessarily to the extent of other players though. Qadir is honestly probably my pick too. Compton is another I may mention. Barrington is in there too somewhere.
Bradman could also be mentioned, as in his time, he was a bit underrated for the level of dominance he did have.

McGrath, Garner etc. underrated as well. Both were seen as a supportive bowler to Warne and Marshall respectively. Kinda of unfair to McGrath especially.

Comeon dude, calling Compton as overrated as Qadir is not fair. He is definitely overrated overall, but not so much. And for a 50+ averaging batsman who probably lost his peak years to war (has great FC record in those), I definitely think he is a top 10 English bat. And re Barrington, he did made Cricinfo's team ahead of Compton...... But yeah, my underrated peak might still be Barrington.

Would like to mention Brett Lee in the overrated side.
sayon basak
International Debutant
Yeah I wanted to mention Brett Lee. Extremely overrated in tests. Probably doesn't have any 10 wicket haul in 76 tests long career. Shoaib Akhtar averaged 5 less and has 2 10 wicket hauls.
Good odi bowler tho

I never said he was as overrated as Qadir. I just said he’s worth a mention in this discussion. If you actually read my post, I agreed that Qadir is probably the best option.

It doesn't seem fair. Everyone is not supposed to spin the ball as much as Warne.
