Bradman is the greatest, Sachin comes only second: Waugh

Sachin Tendulkar can come only second behind legendary Don Bradman in the list of all-time greatest cricketers, feels former Australia captain Steve Waugh.

"Don Bradman is the greatest, there is no debate. Don is the number one and then come the rest. And among the rest, Tendulkar probably is as good as anyone. So legitimately he may be the second best cricketer to have played the game," Waugh said.

"But then people will say the same for Gary Sobers and W G Grace too. So its difficult to say," added Waugh, who is here as a member of the Laureus Sports Academy.

Waugh also said it was dangerous to see Test cricket losing out quality fast bowlers to Twenty20 format.

"It is dangerous for Test cricket that we are losing the quicks. It is a Twenty20 influence.
