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 rather than a match-winner.
One of the greatest spinners to have played the game, Warne was engaged in an Instagram live session with his fans.
When the discussion turned to the best batsman in his time, 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."
"There were these two guys, then there was daylight and after that, the rest of the batsmen came."
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."
