Here is what Hussain wrote in this column, after watching Sachin
Tendulkar make the first ODI double century in the men's game in the
second ODI of the India South Africa series at the Captain Roop Singh
Stadium in Gwalior:
"Better than Brian Lara and Ricky Ponting, the other two great players of my era. Better than Sir Viv Richards, Sunil Gavaskar and Allan Border. And I would even say better than Sir Don Bradman himself."
Hussain stated frankly that while drawing comparisons was something he did not want to indulge in, this innings brought it out in him, "''I have never liked comparisons between great players, but after Wednesday's incredible game it must be said - Sachin Tendulkar is the greatest batsman of all time."
