10 most overrated players in the history of cricket 

#7 Shane Watson

Shane Watson was never as influential as one expected him to be

Now, make no mistake, the former Australian was one of the world’s better all-rounders during the latter part of his career, but, Shane Watson was never the world-class player that many seem to think he was.

His international career remains one of unfulfilled talent, which was exemplified by his struggles as the team’s opening batsman in Test cricket.

Watson was an excellent power hitter at the top of the order in limited overs cricket, but, then again, he found it difficult going against the best attacks.

As far as his bowling goes, he was largely a peripheral member of the Australian bowling attack.

He was a good player and still is, considering the fact that T20 franchises still want him, but he wasn’t exactly a match-turning all-rounder that many seem to think he was.
