NEW DELHI: Even as accolades poured in from all quarters for Sachin Tendulkar after his historic double hundred in Gwalior on Wednesday, former England skipper Nasser Hussain said the knock - the first-ever 200 in the 50-over game - should settle the debate on who is the greatest of all time, Tendulkar or 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 of all time," Hussain wrote in Daily Mail.
"Better than Brian Lara and Ricky Ponting, the other two great players of my era. Better than Viv Richards, Sunil Gavaskar and Allan Border. And I would even say better than Don Bradman himself. Now that he has the first double hundred in a One-Day International he has swung it for me."
British media goes ga ga
The British media to hailed Tendulkar as the finest batsman ever. The Times remarked, "All kneel down and praise whatever god you fancy for the mighty Sachin Tendulkar. This could just be turning into the greatest year of his career, more than 20 years after it began."
