Overrated/Underrated

[Dan]

Overrated. Only slightly though.

 

[kingkallis]

I think I too agree with Ajmal's case

 

[Prince EWS]

Overrated. Only slightly though.

You ruined the game.

 

[weldone]

Overrated. Only slightly though.

Game ends. A mod to close the thread, etc.

Edit: Cribbage WAC!

 

[ankitj]

Michael Bevan?

 

[kingkallis]

Under-rated. He was compared to Dhoni

 

[Prince EWS]

Michael Bevan?

A little over-rated as a one day batsman, vastly under-rated as anything else.

Gary Gilmour

 

[Dan]

Very underrated. Any reason why he didn't play more?

So as to not ruin the thread again, Graham McKenzie.

 

[Prince EWS]

Very underrated. Any reason why he didn't play more?

Did something to his foot, came back and bowled pies ever after.

 

[Jager]

Graham McKenzie massively underrated. Would love to find some proper footage of him bowling.

Younis Khan? (on the back of his sim performance)

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Underrated in tests, certainly

Chris Cairns

 

[weldone]

Underrated in tests, certainly

Chris Cairns

Underrated slightly

Bill Johnston

 

[fredfertang]

There are a whole era of underrated players from th 60s mainly because the game was so dull - as well as McKenzie Ted Dexter, Ken Barrington, Bob Simpson and Bill Lawry all spring readily to mind

 

[Pup Clarke]

What about some explanations as to why such and such is overrated/underrated guys?

Time is money, mayn.

 

[Jager]

Bill Johnston certainly gets overlooked a lot, but I have heard some very positive comments about him recently, some placing him as the third-best left-arm seamer of all

Victor Trumper

 

[BoyBrumby]

Yeah, much more informative if folk show their workings, as it were.

Victor Trumper

Toughie, actually. That his brute average isn't that impressive might cause some (read: statsguru devotees) to underrate him, but his technique, especially on sticky-dogs, is spoken of in such glowing terms by contemporary witnesses that he may be very slightly overrated by the more historically minded cricket fans out there.

Derek Randall.

 

[kingkallis]

Never gets mentioned, under-rated maybe?

Hugh Tayfield

 

[fredfertang]

Derek Randall.

Example of both really - history has tended to underrate that superb innings he played in the Centenary Test, which for me has to be right up there with the best Test innings ever played, but generally he was overrated - he had a distinctly iffy technique and it always looked like the next ball might well be his last

 

[morgieb]

Tayfield defs seems under-rated.

Due to WSC on Channel 9, Gary Cozier?
