Saeed Anwar's Birthday
September 6 down the years
A Pakistani whirlwind Today is Wed, September 6, 2006 Saeed Anwar: 1968 The birth of one of the most exciting and productive opening batsmen. Several of Saeed Anwar's Test centuries for Pakistan turned into big ones, often away from home. His first Test ton, for instance, was 169 against New Zealand at Wellington in 1993-94. He also belted 176 against England at The Oval in 1996, as well as an unbeaten 188, his highest Test score, at Calcutta in 1998-99. But it's Anwar's style and speed of scoring that will stay in the memory: according to the Almanack, his runs at Lord's in 1996 "typified the uninhibitedness of modern Pakistani batting". His one-day international record is one of the very best and his 20 hundreds included the highest score by any batsman: 194 against India at Chennai in 1996-97.
