SYDNEY, OCT. 4. ``Sachin Tendulkar is in my time the best player without doubt — daylight second, Brian Lara third,'' says Australian spin wizard Shane Warne about the Indian batting maestro. Warne says what makes Tendulkar so special is the ``way he uses the crease'' ``He goes right forward or right back. He bats with both feet behind the crease to me. Most people have one foot either side. So he plays cut shots off good length balls, but when he gets forward, he still gets right forward. ``I have got him out three or four times, but the ratio of hundreds... he is way ahead in our battles,'' says Warne in an interview to the Herald Sun. Warne, who once famously commented that Tendulkar gave him nightmares, also reveals his special off-field rapport with the record-breaking Indian. "I speak to him all the time, not just when we are in India. In India you have a billion people. Every single one of them, as long as they can speak, knows Sachin. The way he goes about his work is as good as anyone I have seen in international cricket,'' gushes the leg-spinner. ``We both like Ferraris and cars in general. He drives an X5 BMW and so do I. "We have similar tastes in music but not food. I'm not sure he's big into tinned spaghetti and beans. He likes lobsters,'' Warne concluded. — PTI
