Sydney: Australia captain Michael Clarke feels Sachin Tendulkar's greatness is second only to Don Bradman and surviving international cricket for around 25 years is the biggest achievement of the master blaster.
"So much has been said and written about Sachin's achievements over years," Clarke wrote in his column for the Daily Telegraph Friday.
"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," he said of the 40-year-old who is playing his farewell Test against the West Indies in Mumbai.
