Chappell, now a national selector in Australia, doffed his hat to the cricketing icon after he scored his 50th Test century against South Africa in Centurion. "Wonderful achievement," is how Chappell described the feat achieved last Sunday in the Sydney Morning Herald. He also said Tendulkar is a classic example of, "if you keep your mind fresh, you can play well into your 30s".
Chappell left as coach of the team on a sour note after the 2007 World Cup in the West Indies. The former batting great did not agree that Tendulkar was greater than Sir Donald Bradman in the big ongoing debate.
"Bradman. No doubt," he said. In a poll conducted by the newspaper on who's the greatest, Tendulkar got 67 per cent of the votes while Bradman secured 33 per cent. A total of 20768 cricket enthusiasts voted.
