Michael Neser is a superstar. Bowls, bats, fields and a great team man. 4 dimensional players are very rare. Overlooked again at the next level. Just keeps getting it done. 👏👏👏

At the risk of inciting a civil war, is there a more undervalued, under appreciated cricketer than Michael Neser ? #BBL13

One of the greatest ever all-round games in BBL history from Michael Neser

It’s nearly a travesty Michael Neser hasn’t played more international cricket. I mean it’s amazing we have that depth to leave a talent like that out of the team but you gotta feel for him in a way. Incredible cricketer.

It’s a pity Michael Neser is an exceptional bowler because it tends to hide what a talented batter he is. High-quality striking tonight….

Michael Neser is criminally underrated in this country

Michael Neser lighting up the Gabba!!.
It’s a travesty he’s only played two Tests but he also could easily have played more than his four ODIs.
Finishes on 64* off 30 balls with three sixes in the final over. #BBL13

Michael Neser, what a man!!! 🔥 The Heat looked to be in all sorts after losing 3-19, MASSIVE to finish upwards of 190 #BBL13
