- Shane Warne (3154 runs):
Australian spin wizard Shane Warne demolished several batting line-ups within hours with his sheer magic and guile. But with the bat, Warne was often an underrated customer as he scored some priceless runs for his side lower down the order. Warne tops the list for a batsman with most test runs without a century, with 3154 career runs to his name. As a matter of fact, due to Warne’s knocks, Australia won several games. With a best score of 99 and as many as 12 half-centuries, it must be said that Warne’s ability with the willow was quite an underrated one.
