Saeed Anwar - Finest Pakistan Opening Batsman

Saeed Anwar was one of among five Pakistan players who were fined by the commission for not cooperating in match-fixing reports. In 2003, at the time of retirement the 35-year-old ended his vibrant cricket career with 4,052 runs at a world-class average of 45.52 in 55 Tests and 8,823 runs averaging 39.21, in 247 One-day Internationals.

Saeed Anwar was a super driver of the ball; he made 11 hundred in Tests and 20 in one-dayers. He also holds the record for the highest individual score in a One-day International – 194 against India in Chennai in 1997. Later on, it was beaten by many others. The current record is held with Indian Rohit Sharma.
