Should be most over-rated tv presenters.

Add Andrew OKeefe to that list, Eddie McGuire and the Saturday Disney crew to that.

In perspective, Jimmy Maher and Martin Love would've been 50 Test players in another country (say England throughout the 1990's).
Stuart Law probably could've played 100 Tests for Australia if he'd played throughout the 1980's...
Ian Harvey, in an era where we were screaming out for an all-rounder (not that we needed one), never played a Test!

Jamie Siddons - played so many fantastic Shield innings that had the privilege of watching. Should have played ahead of Dean Jones for a couple of years.
Damien Fleming - very good on some tough tours, but lost for recognition in the McGrath / Warne era.
Bruce Reid - injuries cruelled him but his Tests in Aus in 90-91 v Eng and 91-92 v Ind were awesome
Craig McDermott - just IMO, doesn't get the credit he deserves a man with 290 wickets in the era when 300 was an awesome total, should get.
Jamie Cox - don't think he should have played Test cricket in his era, but he just kept doing the job year after year at state level.

Merv Hughes.
TBA May.
Jamie Siddons.
Stuart Law.
Michael D'Vanuto.

WA opener Bruce Laird always comes to my mind.

Craig McDermott - just IMO, doesn't get the credit he deserves a man with 290 wickets in the era when 300 was an awesome total, should get.

These three are among my favourites of that era.

I wouldn't mate. You don't get to be Aussie vice-captain if you're underrated.
