James Pattinson: overrated ?


Recommended Posts

Posted

He did good against in Australia and India. But to me he looks overrated when quality bats are at the crease. After watching two matches he has no impact in this series until now. Its either peter siddle or Rhino. Lol at someone who had patto as legend as the display name.

Seemingly inevitable. Bowlers picked without domestic experience tend to go through a rough patch after the honeymoon period.

he is just not bowling the correct line and length he is either too wide or too straight..i dont know how u can make such a mistake in one of the biggest series in world .. not seen pone ball which was pitched at fullish good length and swung away..clearly lacking some experince def overrated and not a legend :P

hes good but not as good as made out to be.did well in India which indicates hes good.not too many fast bowlers do well in India. he had a surgery recently(rkt told me),so maybe hes rusty

how can he not bowl full bcos of that? right now he bowled one full ball and it swung from off stump everyone can swing ball at this level but that does not mean u are dale steyn.. if naything this guy might end up becoming next sreesanth even his antics are similar :giggle: need to get little things right he has potential for sure

not enough practice,his pace is low too.his natural length is short and depends on pace. hes no Sreesanth or Ishant for sure.if he stays away from injuries,he'll have a decent career imo.

his bowling actually is similar to sreesanth here similar problems too about length and control also pace wise he was never 150k just bowled quicker in debut series then he could and got injured many times so maybe this is the pace optimum for him. to me umesh always looked better built than him for pace and even he is confortable near 90 miles and not more

did you see Sreesanth in 2007?He was beyond awful.maybe he fixed it too:--D hes not 150 but could bowl 140 consistently and with his length it was hard to play.now hes coming off surgery so I'm not sure hes fully match fit.

oh come on its test match dont use fitness as excuse

not an excuse but can be the reason.
if he is not fit enough after such a long time then no need to hype him harris is similarly unfit most of time but when he plays he shows his class

I rate him' date=' think he will become an extremely good bowler. He is just going through a bit of a rough patch atm.[/quote'] but he was always overhyped ofc he can become good bowler every bowler who plays at test level has potential to become very good but is he over rated or not ? do u remember the hype in media during south african series ?

I think hype is also associated with drama the bowler creates.Pattinson celebrates every wicket as if he won the WC where as guy like Yadav are much hence dont get the hype to me Yadav > Patto.as I said hes good but not that good.

even i agree patto is good but we see people here calling him legend cos of hype so yeah to answer the op ..he is overated also keep in mind i have been syaing this even before this ashes started :winky: so its not just cos of 2 bad matches

Always thought Cummins was the overhyped one. Pattinson went under the radar initially but perhaps became a bit more overhyped in recent times. He has been overhyped in recent times in that people expect to produce world class displays in every test but he is still young and learning.

Yeah that is ridiculous if people were rating him ahead of Morkel. In general i think Morrne Morkel is a very underrated bowler, especially in limited overs cricket.

He is hyped same like some hype Yadav. Still good stats in tests, :two_thumbs_up:
Is Yadav hyped? Everyone just says that he has pace, can move the ball both ways but lacks control. Definitely do not think he is over-hyped.
