rahulrulezz Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 he barely makes it in the paki xi and you would pick him for world 11? why so much affinity towards pakis? nothing to do with Pakistan.. I m a big fan of U.Akmal... and to certain extent N.Jamshed also him not being in Pakistan 11 doesn't mean anything.. its there stupid politics and investing in wrong players... Just like I would take G.Gambhir over R.Sharma 100 out of 100 matches or U.Yadav over V.Kumar or I.Sharma even though Gambhir and Yadav are not considered for final 11...
Pagalpanti Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 Cook. Played big part in England's first series win in Australia and India, being a bit unfair? Bell is over-rated in England line up, he has been time and again exposed by good bowling line ups. Though he's kept his stat in check by feasting on poor Aus-Ind bowlers.
Scarves Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 Trott, Shaun Marsh, Usman Khawaja, David Warner, Dale Steyn.
GrandMasterSaxy Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 Dale Steyn ? I agree to the rest of the lot Trott' date=' Shaun Marsh, Usman Khawaja, David Warner, Dale Steyn.[/quote']
Scarves Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 Dale Steyn ? I agree to the rest of the lot He is made out to be like the top all time. He is the best at the moment but people rate him for than he actually is. Overrated doesn't mean he is bad at all. He is still a current great but people rate him a bit more than that. :winky: Remember just because they are overrated doesn't mean they aren't great.

Like Dennis Lillee was overrated.
Scarves Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 Like Dennis Lillee was overrated. By Australians I guess so. However Harsha did write an article call 'All Hail Steyn' sooooo :hysterical:
MCcricket Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 PONTING was very overrated, prolific against pace pathetic against spin, S Broad very overrated, wonder how he can be playing tests in that side ahead of, Finn, Tremlett n others. Jayawardene home turf bully and away a bunny, POMS are overrated as their peak years coincided with worst years for Aussies and a general tapering off of most other sides, Dhoni overrated as a test batsman especially cant play away on hard decks. Tendulkar overrated as a test batsman in terms of playing match winning innings, Phil Hughes most overrated, Aussies will do well to discard him as a longterm test bat, Marsh brothers , Bailey, Maxwell could get them back on track.
Stuge Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 ' date=' Dale Steyn.[/quote']:hysterical::hysterical: he is the best fast bowler in todays cricket.
Malcolm Merlyn Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 Saeed Ajmal Umar Akmal M.Irfan Rohit Sharma Raina Trott Barbie Phill Hughes Usman Khwaza Jayawardene Sangakkara
GrandMasterSaxy Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 Jayawardene & Sangakkarra ? I hope you aint kidding. Both of these batsmen have scored 10K+ runs in ODI as well as in Test matches. I mean 42000+ international runs is not a joke. SL team would crumble without these two Saeed Ajmal Umar Akmal M.Irfan Rohit Sharma Raina Trott Barbie Phill Hughes Usman Khwaza Jayawardene Sangakkara
adi B Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 Umar Akmal has better stats than current ODI legends like Yuvraj' date=' Raina & Rohit despite playing all his matches away from roads at home.[/quote'] yuvraj?seriously?? the guy won 4 consecutive MOS awards in odi series in his prime(which included the series in pak in 2006),won numerous matches on his own,has a great record in big stage icc tournies.. can umar akmal dream of even playing such innings on difficult pitches!! http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/225959.html some notable knocks outside SC 94 at sabina park 139 in sydney 131 in sabina park 84 on debut vs aus at nairobi 64 natwest final 87 vs nzl at christchurch
Scarves Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 Saeed Ajmal Umar Akmal M.Irfan Rohit Sharma Raina Trott Barbie Phill Hughes Usman Khwaza Jayawardene Sangakkara How can one be overrated if they are barely rated. :hysterical: Mahela and Kumar are like overlooked several times. Also on Steyn just because he is "the fastest" doesn't mean anything if anything you had just overrated him. :--D
Malcolm Merlyn Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 Jayawardene & Sangakkarra ? I hope you aint kidding. Both of these batsmen have scored 10K+ runs in ODI as well as in Test matches. I mean 42000+ international runs is not a joke. SL team would crumble without these two Check their away records without minnows. In case of Mahela just take out Galle and Ssc and check his record. Massively overrated players.
