10 most overrated players in the history of cricket

Graeme Hick is the most overrated cricketers

As far as overrated players are concerned, nobody quite comes close to Zimbabwe-born former England batsman Graeme Hick.

The right-handed batsmen had a fine technique and a wide array of strokes, which enabled him to become the highest scorer in the history of first-class cricket with a tally in excess of 64,000 runs.

However, when it came to International cricket, Hick could never quite deliver on his promise. Despite the fact that the English selectors had pinned their hopes on him being the next great, he never threatened to truly break out into something close to his first-class avatar.

That being said, the selectors never seemed to give up hope and for a decade from 1991 to 2001, he kept making comebacks and played in as many as 65 Test matches.

Hick averaged only 31.32 and scored a grand total of 6 hundreds. In 120 ODIs, he made 5 hundreds and averaged 37.33.
