Overrated - Probably Tamim Iqbal. He's basically inconsistent just like Ashraful and hasn't scored a 100 for over 2 years. Has the talent but talent alone is not good enough to get recognition.
Asian commies rate Shak. Prolly WI & NZ commies too. Atherton or other Eng/OZ commies haven't seen enough of Shak, so unsurprisingly they don't rate him. And they're biased as anyone else. And sadly he was out of form vs England, clearly didn't help his case, that.

Tamim's probably slightly overrated, but you're being extremely harsh on him. He's fairly consistent in tests despite not converting 50s.
