'He was just as good as Sachin Tendulkar': Former Australia spinner names India batsman who played him 'splendidly'

Hindustan Times  

Former India captain Sachin Tendulkar is perhaps the most complete batsman across eras. Everytime Hogg came on to bowl to Tendulkar, the former India batsman made it a point to go after him and not allow him to settle. Hogg, who dismissed Tendulkar only once in his career, explained that while Tendulkar was all class, there was another India batsman from the same era who played him equally well, and that was none other than VVS Laxman. Laxman did not get a big score in either innings of the Test match but during his innings of 26 and 42, the former India batsman showed tremendous application, while the rest of the Indian batsman failed to put up a big score in the second innings as Australia won the game by 337 runs, with Hogg claiming four wickets in the match – 2/82 and 2/51.
