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.

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.
