Most overrated XI of current cricketers

6. Tim Paine (C & WK)

There’s a lot of talk about how Tim Paine is as a player. It’s very late in his career that he has finally been getting his chances consistently. All of a sudden after the sandpaper incident, he was made the captain of the Aussie side.

There’s nothing but respect for the guy to lead Australia during a time when it was at its worst. He did well as a captain early on, showing some serious leadership skills. But he wasn’t able to keep up with it and it’s surprising that he’s still the captain when Smith and Warner are back.

Tim Paine is yet to score a century in Test cricket, and he was axed from the ODI side after a terrible run in 2018. His wicketkeeping performances haven’t been up to the mark recently. It’s surprising he hasn’t been dropped from the playing XI just yet, although it might be on the cards if he doesn’t perform in the next Test series for Australia.
