London, February 25: Former England captain Nasser Hussain is convinced that Sachin Tendulkar is the greatest batsman the game has ever seen, better than even the iconic Don Bradman.
“I have never liked comparisons between great players, but after Wednesday’s incredible game it must be said Sachin Tendulkar is the greatest batsman of all time,” Hussain wrote in his column for ‘The Daily Mail’.
Tendulkar became the first batsman to crack a double century in the four-decade-long history of one day cricket against South Africa yesterday and Hussain felt that should settle the debate on who is the greatest batsman ever.
“Better than Brian Lara and Ricky Ponting, the other two great players of my era. Better than Sir Viv Richards, Sunil Gavaskar and Allan Border. And I would even say better than Sir Don Bradman himself,” wrote the Chennai-born English cricketer of Indian origin.
