MELBOURNE, Dec 20: Sachin Tendulkar might be in the twilight of his career but spin legend Shane Warne believes the master batsman is still a force to reckon with and backed him to score heavily on his last Australian tour.

“I don’t believe just because he is getting old, he is finished. Given the conditions, Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide are going to be pretty flat, I expect Sachin to get lot of runs,” Warne said.

“He is the best batsman I have played either with or against. You never write off a great player,” said Warne as he backed the peerless Indian and the rest of his teammates to score heavily in the next few weeks.—Agencies
