Former England off-spinner Graeme Swann has revealed his list of all-time cricketers and has included batting legend Sachin Tendulkar in the list. “Tendulkar is the best player of my generation. I would prefer bowling to Sachin than Lara but it’s a touch and go,” Swann was quoted saying.
The 37-year-old picked Bradman, Gilchrist, McGrath, Warne, Greenidge, Sobers, Lara, Akram and his fellow countrymen Hobbs and Anderson, who is added as the 12th man, in his dream team.
Well, Swann also picked himself in the team and gave this reason: “Graeme Swann, because it’s my team. I’ve got a left-armer, foot hole. I’m in.”
