Melbourne: World Cup winning former Australian captain Allan Border is extermely critical of senior cricketer Shane Watson's inconsistent performance and fears that time might just be running out for the 33-year-old all-rounder, rated as one of the best players of his time.

"I'm a Shane Watson fan but I've become an extremely frustrated fan. I am pulling my hair out, just like everyone else. When 'Watto' is at his best he is just so brilliant that you think 'wow', I want more of this please. But I must admit that maybe I have been a bit hoodwinked by those occasional flashes of brilliance," Border wrote in his column for the Australian daily 'Courier Mail'.
