Former Australian fast bowler Brett Lee has named his greatest cricketer of all time, and it is not Sachin Tendulkar. According to sports.ndtv.com, Lee said Tendulkar is the greatest batter ever, but the title of cricketing GOAT belongs to someone else. The outlet reports that Lee's choice, while it snubs Tendulkar for the top spot, is not surprising to those who follow his views.
