DomainK Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 btw I saw a clip of wasim Bhai bowling in Aus (on foxsports .. cricket classics from the 80s) and I could clearly see him scratch the ball with his finger nails.. I am still amazed how he never got banned for this kind of shyt ... I have lost all respect for him now Almost evert Pakistani bowler has done it. And yes, Pakistani players rarely get punished. Thats because ICC does not have balls. Link to comment
bharat297 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I dont think Tait is overrated ... he had 1 bad Test match against Australia (where Ponting used him very very poorly) but I dont think any batsman in the world would feel comfortable facing someone that can crank it up to 155+ on a regular basis and bowl a deadly yorker just as often as a deadly bouncer. Imo ... most overrated players are ... Australia - Nathan Hauritz South Africa - Paul Harris England - lol ... where do I start (basically everyone except KP and Flintoff) India - Harbhajan Sri Lanka - Dilhara Fernando NZL - Mark Gillespie Windies - Fidel Edwards Pakistan - well I cant remember any of there players anymore BD - you have to be rated to be overrated Link to comment

EnterTheVoid Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 i think steve harmison is perhaps the most irritating excuse for a fast bowler england has ever produced on a side note, i do feel sorry for broad, who has haplessly thrashed after flintoff made the mistake of sledging yuvraj Link to comment

No one is satisfied with ICC. They dont have the balls to punish a bad player, they dont have the guts to stop the crap practices by BCCI, they dont have the sense to select the right umpires for the elite panel. ICC is a spineless and incompetent organization. Link to comment
amits Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 rohit sharma is the most over-rated player ever. he would make all the players being talked about here seem underrated Link to comment
Dinx - the Jinx Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 SL - Mendis Just wait and watch a couple of more seasons. I'll be proven right Link to comment
CSK Fan Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 rohit sharma is the most over-rated player ever. he would make all the players being talked about here seem underrated Shikhar Dhawan. Rated sky high without even playing an international game Link to comment
Guest Hiten. Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 SL - Mendis Just wait and watch a couple of more seasons. I'll be proven right That's a very very big claim Dinakkar bhai. Mendis is not over-rated by the SL camp, opponents have rated him high so that says something. Link to comment
90mph Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Pakistan: Butt England: Harmison/Flintoff India: Rohit Sharma/Harbhajan Australia: Lee/Watson WI: Sarwan NZ: Oram/Patel Bangladesh: Ashraful/Tamim Lanka: Vaas /Fernando SA: Gibbs/Boucher Link to comment
Ram Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Its a shame that Afridi is even rated, let alone over-rated. Link to comment
Fontaine Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Self Harmison: for the way he chokes on away tours and bowls with zero heart. Harbhajan Singh: for the way he gets terrified and bowls darts when batsmen attack him and the fact that he can't even bowl with the right seam position a lot of times. Link to comment
kooljatt Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 aus : clarke sa : kallis ind : rohit sharma pak : misbah sl : dilshan Link to comment
EnterTheVoid Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 Its a shame that Afridi is even rated' date= let alone over-rated. yea, i second that sentiment this guy has achieved diddly squat I remember watching the ipl coverage on channel 10 here in australia and before each DC game, the hosts were like "I am waiting to Afridi to fire" or "Here comes Boom Boom Afridi, watch out", and he practically contributed nothing except take home a ridiculously inflated check Link to comment
fineleg Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 aus : clarke sa : kallis ind : rohit sharma pak : misbah sl : dilshan M.clarke or S.Clark? Neither are overrated. J.Kallis :hmmmm: Meh, if only India had such allrounder after Kapil Dev in Test cricket during the last decade. Kallis has been a superb asset for SA. Link to comment
Pak_Forever Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Simple question: your thoughts on the most over rated players? Pakistan: Afridi, Asif England: Harmison India: Sreesanth SA: no one I agree with you on Afridi, but ASIF!? The guy who has played 11 Test matches with 51 wickets @ avg. of 23 is overrated? HAHA. He has literary ooowned with a big 'O' each and every team he has faced: Sri Lanka, England, and especially India, remember those cart wheels? If he only had been away from all of the stupid controversies.....hopefully he will soon get banned, serve his punishment and then will make a comeback by bringing each and every opposition batsmen on his knees. :--D Link to comment
cowboysfan Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 SL - Mendis Just wait and watch a couple of more seasons. I'll be proven right i feel the exact opposite.mendis is the best bowler in both tests and odis right now.i will be happy if i am proven wrong. Link to comment
