Brett Lee Picks The Greatest Batsman He Has Ever Bowled To

Brett Lee named Sachin Tendulkar as the greatest batsman he has ever bowled to but South Africa's Jacques Kallis was in Lee's opinion the 'greatest complete cricketer.'

Sydney: Former Australia cricketer Brett Lee picked iconic batsman Sachin Tendulkar as the greatest batsman he has ever bowled to but South Africa's legendary all-rounder Jacques Kallis was in Lee's opinion the 'greatest complete cricketer.'

"You think of Sachin Tendulkar, it just looked like he had more time," Lee told former Zimbabwe cricketer turned commentator Pommie Mbangwa.

"The best way to explain the meaning of time in cricket is that it felt like Sachin was batting on the return crease, batting next to the stumps, it just felt like he had more time to play against me, in my opinion he was the best batsman in the world.

"Then you go on to Brian Lara, he was so flamboyant, it did not matter how quick you bowled against him, he could smash you in six different areas on the ground.

"Lara and Sachin are neck to neck when you talk about greatest batsmen. In my opinion, Sachin is the greatest batsman, but the greatest complete cricketer, in my opinion, has to be Jacques Kallis."

It is no surprise that the former Aussie bowler named Kallis as the greatest complete cricketer. The Proteas all-rounder is the only cricketer to have picked more than 250 wickets in both Test and ODI cricket and score more than 10,000 runs in his career.
