Tendulkar is my batsman to bat in any conditions, says Warne

The Hindu  

Spin great Shane Warne on Monday picked his fierce rival Sachin Tendulkar as the batsman to bat in any conditions and called his former skipper Steve Waugh a match saver than a match-winner. When the discussion turned to the best batsman during his playing days, the 50-year-old Warne said: “If I have to choose any batsman to bat in any conditions, it is a real toss-up between Tendulkar and Lara, but I would just choose Tendulkar.” “If we have to chase 400 runs on the last day, I would definitely pick Lara,” added the leg-spinner who ended his illustrious career with over 700 Test wickets. “Steve was more of a match saver than a match-winner,” Warne said about Waugh whom he included in his all-time Australian Test XI to be led by Allan Border. About his team, Warne said: “I am only picking players that I played with, that is why David Warner is not going to be a part of the side, he is one of the greatest Australian openers.” Warne’s team comprised Matthew Hayden and Michael Slater as openers, followed by Ricky Ponting, Mark Waugh, Border and Steve.
