Reason why saeed anwar got respect from india in India was that he was so humble. Even after scoring centuries he never become chichoora or shokha like most today players do.
Saeed Anwar was inventor of Counter Attack. His Innings in Hobart Gabba The Oval and this match are genuine proofs.Sehwag Gilchrist are 2nd generation. This is absolutely quality batting. Look at his strike rate. Playing Kumble Srinath Prasad and Harbhajan like street bowlers. Look at his late cuts. Absolute Gem ❤.
I don't see any batsman now a days who try to play with minimum effort like this, believing in timing and in placement while remaining in the textbook approach of the shot all the time rather than muscling it. No doubt as Ravi said "he is the optimum timer of the ball!"
Watching Anwar sir's innings worth every single penny, my childhood hero... hero still now..& will remain hero forever...thanks for uploading with that much detail(20+ minute)
Superb cuts, pulls and use of wrist in entire innings.... Later Saeed in an interview admitted that Azhar is one of the best catchers in world cricket and when Azhar dropped him, he understood its his day
Cover drive timming and palacment is so amazing of great lagend saeed anwer he is mutch dangrous then lara and tandulkar but his cricket is finish very early
1st o all thanx dear fo ur compliments to a legend ... same goes wit me, beyond our country politics, I love this game n I still like the players from India too,as a sportsman Actually what I understand about his (Saeed Anwar) career, he was totally playing at his continuous/consistent performance... since the new Executive of PCB that time Mr. Toqir Zia, don't like him much coz he never did apple polish .. that's y he left the game at his highest peak
He stopped playing cricket cos of his only daughter passed away at very young age, that time he had 19 100s under his name. He made a come back in 2003 world cup but after a disastrous world cup end, whole team got sacked including wasim waqar moin ijaz saqlain, mustaq, etc but he was the only player with better records.
@@wajidabid961 no..you are wrong... He was DROPPED..Can you imagine,after making a classic century against India, this legend was dropped and forced to retire from Cricket after 2003 world cup? ..... and its a CONFIRM News, not a hoax ... He was dropped by PCB, he waited for 6 months that PCB may recalls him, but Selfish and Corrupt cricket board sent a message we want to test younger players, so no more space for you. Shame Shame Shame.... We have lost a diamond.. Here is ESPN Cricinfo's article on his retirement ... www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/23164428/i-retired-felt-unwanted-says-saeed-anwar
Saeed Anwar is maybe the only opening batsman in world who has the record of bat carry in both tests & odi's, in test same match & in odi vs Zimbabwe in 1995
No one talks about the quality of those late cuts. He was a supreme timer and shot maker overall but those late cuts were out of this world. Breathtaking stuff
He Was My Love And Still I Never Get This Kind Ov A Player in The World For Me . He was my inspiration ... The Cover Drive The Pull The Flick Dwon The Pitch . Out Class Batsman When He Retried After That Boycott To Watching Cricket The Aera Was Great
9:35 comeback to form innings and playing India in Kolkata, no unnecessary celebration. Professional and class act.. hope the new generation learns from him
Gorgeous,Outclass, beautiful driver of the cricket ball, and so elegant player, i must say he play short cricket due to death of wife and blood cancer his daughter, he was more aggressive and handsome than tendulkar and lara. He was more than cricket batsman, i always love to watch this batsman saeed anwer, even Australian also admit than, specially ( justan langar) he was outclass driver of the cricket ball.
Azharuddin dropped the Asian Test championship. A great fielder he would have taken that catch 99 out of 100 times. His drop catch cost India 188 runs and we ended up losing by 40 odd runs. and we did not make the final as well. An India-Pakistan final would have been mighty for Asian Test Championship. But the weaker Sri lanka prepared a dead track for the second Test against India at Colombo which ended up as high scoring draw. The third test at Lahore ended up as draw as well,as Pakistan deliberately played for a draw and allowed Lanka to come back into the game - in order to keep India away from the Final. A smart move,as Pakistan punished lanka in the Final with an innings victory. great days of Cricket.
GANESH one thing Ganesh world rate Sachin better than Anwar but Saeed Anwar brought more victories against India for Pakistan than Tendulkar against Pakistan for India.
Dont think that way catching is part of game. .if we look back may e .tendulkar has only 20 plus centuries. Bcaz he was drop many times out not given many times etc.
@@amanshah8907 because Indian bowling was 3rd class. Pakistan bowling was first class. Reverse the bowlers i.e. let Prasad, kumble srinath bowl to Sachin and Wasim, Waqar, Shoaib to Anwar. Then see.
he was dropped on zero here - by one of the greatest slip fielders in the history Azhar - and its just a regulation catch...so he was actually tremendously lucky in this game.
@@techaddictors2487 Your potty mouth belongs outside of civilized spaces. Saeed is one of the most humble and brilliant cricketers ever and he would recoil from someone like you. Don't give other people your hateful attributes.
@@b-sideplank m a Pakistani but at least i hate that type o stupid words ... he just shown his level .. so let it be.... v r watching game clips as this game lovers not supporting politics at either side .... love cricket n love players ..... from 🇵🇰🥰🤗
Just becouse of he left cricket very early and he plays a few matches as compared to others. HE left cricket after his daughter's death. HE moves rowards islam and now he is a practical muslim. HE has no time for games
Thanks for uploading...i love SA..A top class batsmen of his era..he was better of sachin n lara at his age..i believe if he had continued playing cricket he must have been in the rally of centuries with sachin kallis n ponting
0:16... What a Historical Drop ! Anwer made 188 out of 350 odds thereafter , !!! ❤ Enabled Pakistan in a commanding position even after 1st Innings 40 runs deficit ..... just because of Anwer marathon innings after that drop in this Historical Asian Test Champion decider ! (Placed against Weak Srilankans) in very First Asian Test Championship ❤ Disabled india to make Their Test Victory tally into double figures (Even after 24 years its still Pak 12: Ind 9 Indopak Test Record) ❤❤❤❤❤❤ From Karachi
Well Saeed Anwar was a terrific player of both off side and on side, almost all over the ground. Really love to see him when his bat sings, but on the other hand, I must say there is one great fast bowler India has produced and i.e. Javagal Srinath. Really love that guy, aggressive but respectful not like fast bowlers of modern era. He always remain aggressive but didn't disrespectful to his opponent batsmen.
Great Legand & World Class Opener Really a Natural Stock Player. I have no words for his Class & Speciality.. Really He was a Big player as campare to Lara, Tendulkar And Mark Waugh.. Unfortunately he could not Complete his career.. He could play 7 to 8 years more.. Till 2010.. Till then Pakistan has no Produce a Opener as like Saeed Anwer.. I Love u the Most Saeed bhai.. Now you serve yourself for DEEN.. Really Good Step.. God bless u.. but i miss u the most for cricket.. plz give time to PCB as a Batting coach to new comers.. i missed ur batting style.. Love uuuuuu.
Chennai and this Kolkata tests were among the all time great tests. And played in the same series wow. Packed stadiums in tests what a great site. Though Kolkata crowd didn't end it well!
Saeed Anwar Most Probably The Best Ever Stroke Maker from Pakistan. Always scored quickly with Elegance & capable for hitting Huge Sixes almost effortlessly. It is more than sad he got very late & less chances in Test Cricket & yet maintained brilliant average (45.52) in those days when batting was challenge. Out of his 11 Test Centuries 2 stands in Wisden 100 Greatest innings (188* vs India 1999 & 118 vs South Africa 1998). His Test average against The mighty Australian is more than exceptional (59.1) best, best average among all his mighty Rivals including Lara & Tendulkar.
This was a pretty strong Pak side. But it also shows what an impact player Anwar was. He scored when it well and truly mattered under immense pressure.
When india pak match happens in 1994 to 2000 I always compare tendulkar vs saeed anwer and saeed anwer always played well in comparison with tendulkar. Great played saeed
i think only Pakistani player quiet humble, not a double standard minded n off course not a arrogant one. But a very dangerous n ferocious batsman.He hit very hard every bowl wheather its a its a inswing, yorker or reverse swing doesn't matter for him. He played very aggressively. Now Pakistanis dont have batsmans like him. We got sikhar dhawan but we need another left handed aggressive batsman like Anwar say yuvraj or Robin Singh.
If we talk about pure cricket, which was before 2005, (now it's more towards Showoff) one o my favourite bowler was J.Srinath n V.Prasad ... what I like most in Srinath bowling, he know how to respect the batsman .... Love n miss u Srinath from 🇵🇰🤗🥰
Anwar is on 97 with the total score on the board is 147. Secondly his first test 100 against the Indians turned out his career best in Tests as was his 194 in ODIs which was also his first ODI hundred against Indians.
Upper cut tried for the first time in cricket by Saeed Anwar but did not succeed well later after invention of t20 cricket many platers played this shot and now many players play this shot.

Nope. Grant Flower achieved this feat before him.

He was so strong wrist player, natural gifted player saeed anwer
Saeed Anwar is a perfect combination of elegant, class, attack & dominance
Thanks brother for reminding us Indians over the last 2 days that Anwar made his living by beating the daylights out of Indian bowlers :P
haha yes. Anwar and Jaysuriya tormented us in the late 1990's.
Pls include Chanderpaul and Andy Flower in that list as well.
just to add Azhar and Jadeja too
anwer was a claassic batesman and azharuddin and jadeja was match fixer
Anwar scored tons in three successive tests against us Aussies to in 1998 and 1999. He was a magnificent player.
He Was My Love And Still I Never Get This Kind Ov A Player in The World For Me .
He was my inspiration ... The Cover Drive The Pull The Flick Dwon The Pitch .
Out Class Batsman

Father Ov Indians
Same here bro.... I m from India but first and last favorite batsman is saeed anwar... My legend... My passion for cricket is Becoz of him.
Saeed anwar very good batsman and very gentle player of Pakistan side
One of the best timers of cricket ball ever with that thin willow. Omg
Naturally gifted player who can play on both sides of the wicket...
This 188* here at Kolkata in 1999 and 194 at Chennai in 1997 are the highlights of Saeed Anwar's career
Srinath and humble these two in particular we're manhandeled by Anwar almost every time they met in their careers.
9:35 comeback to form innings and playing India in Kolkata, no unnecessary celebration. Professional and class act.. hope the new generation learns from him

The same 80k crowd got kicked out on the last day. And match was played with empty stadium. 😁😁

Unlucky Anwar.... not able to complet double ton in any form.... Such a brilliant player... but unlucky for not getting double ton.

Not out as well please correct it.
My favourite batsmen ever. A treat to watch him play. Miss those days.
This was one of the great comebacks in the game of test cricket, truly skilled display by Pakistanis at their usual best.

A player like Saeed Anwar not born in 100 year
The way he was relaxed playing every bowler is cooling on the eyes
Ahhh. That batting was "music".
Only one bowler was impressive from Indian side and he was Srinath.He was world class bowler very high arm.action very dangerous
Every time saeed chitrol to anil kumble,,,,😂

Jab v Syed Anwar ko India ke aginest chance mila Anwar ne lamba skor kiya h

Bowlers are abusing cursing and trying all their best but saeed anwar is just timing with a lil smile and that's it 😂
A real masterclass from the little master 👍👍👍
