BRAIN LARA was the best batsman of his era : Shahid Afridi

Joining the debate on who among Brian Lara and Sachin Tendulkar is a greater batsman, Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi said he considers the West Indian a cut above the best of his era.

Lara was the best batsman I have seen in my entire career spanning 16 years better. Personally I found him to be a class above the two other greats of this era Tendulkar and Ricky Pointing Afridi said in an interview.

He was the most difficult batsmen I have bowled too in every format of the game. He could play and hit boundaries at will. Especially against the spinners he produced boundaries out of the hat. He was a superb player and I enjoyed watching him ba Afridi said.

Talking about the greatest bowlers of his time, Afridi praised Australian, Glenn McGrath and compatriot Mohammad Asif who could swing the new ball both ways at wilL

"" Afridi says Mohammad Asif who could swing the new ball both ways at wilL…..i think he was a Great match fixer ever in Pakistan Cricket…."""
