Video: Brett Lee, Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Shaun Tait pick the best players they have played with

Here is what the likes of Brett Lee, Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Shaun Tait had to say when they were asked to pick the best players they have ever played with: 

Brett Lee

Brett Lee recalls that, as a young fast bowler, former Australian skipper Steve Waugh advised him to bowl quick and not worry about the wickets column: the idea was to bowl three or four fierce short spells and intimidate the opposition batsmen, which would inevitably set the tone for the entire day of the match.

Lee, who ended his cricketing career in 2012 with 718 international wickets, also lavished praises on the Australian leg-spinning great Shane Warne, saying that he belonged to a different category altogether, before adding that  Warne had this peculiar knack of remembering the exact details of how he had dismissed a particular batsman years after the incident happened.

Warne has taken more than 1000 international wickets, and his wicket tally of 708 wickets in Test cricket is the second-best after Muttiah Muralitharan in the longer format of the game. 

Shivnarine Chanderpaul

Shivnarine Chanderpaul, referring to Brian Lara as a genius, said that he tried to learn a shot or two from the West Indian batting great, before conceding that, if he had tried to xerox him, he would have got out. 

Shaun Tait 

Tearaway fast bowler Shaun Tait picked Ricky Ponting for the kind of player that the two-time World Cup winning captain was and for the toughness he exhibited on the cricketing field. Warne was in his list, as well.
