Australia captain Michael Clarke believes that Sachin Tendulkar is not the greatest batsman of all time.
Despite hailing the achievements of the Indian legend, who is playing in the 200th and final Test match of his career against the West Indies at the moment, the 32-year-old said that Sir Donald Bradman is the best batsman to have played the sport.
"I've been lucky enough to play with and against some great batsmen but there have been none better than Sachin in my time," he wrote in The Telegraph.
"Given everything he has done, Sachin would have to be the second best batsman of all time after the incomparable Bradman. You would never know it speaking to him."
Clark added that Tendulkar's greatest achievement in cricket is to be playing the game for almost 25 years.
"So much has been said and written about Sachin's achievements over years," he wrote. "His record number of Test and one-day runs, his century of international centuries. They are achievements that may never be bettered.
"However I believe his greatest achievement is playing international cricket for almost a quarter of a century. That is phenomenal.
"To be lining up for his 200th Test is mind boggling. It highlights an undying affection for the game that goes way beyond just playing."
Tendulkar made his international debut back in 1989.
