maniac Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) Picking players who usually get left out of ATG dream X1s but have great stats and performances. We can’t call them underrated either because when people mention their names, we do acknowledge they were great players. Also tried my best to pick players who have had decent careers in both format. I believe apart from Herath everyone has had decent careers in both formats. G.Kirsten G.Smith S.Chanderpaul M.Yusuf Inzamam M.Boucher (WK) C.Cairns J.Srinath M.Ntini R.Herat A.Kumble Other players considered: A.Border,S.Anwar,M.Jayawardena,Harbhajan Singh. Left players like Pollock and VVS Laxman because think they do get their due often Edited April 18, 2020 by maniac Link to comment
zen Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) WKs that get left out cause of preference for Gilly: A Flower (Tests; avg around 53 vs. major teams) D Houghton (ODIs; missed a lot of cricket in his prime) A Knott (Tests; usually picked before Gilly came on the scene so probably got his due) Edited April 18, 2020 by zen Link to comment
Ankit_sharma03 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Sanga gets left out as batsman coz he cud wk as well but stats became so better when he just batted in test. He can get in sides with his batting. Andy flower another one who suffers due to gilchrist. Link to comment

Kept well, not to shabby with the bat. Link to comment

Otherwise, he was a brilliant batsman. Link to comment
