Happy Birthday to the Pakistan batting legend Saeed Anwar. Saeed Anwar was born on 6th September, 1968 in Karachi. An opening batsman and occasional slow left arm orthodox bowler, Anwar played international cricket between 1989 and 2003.
Anwar has scored twenty centuries in ODIs, more than any other Pakistani batsmen in this format. He played 55 Test matches, scoring 4052 runs with eleven centuries, average 45.52. In 247 One Day Internationals (ODIs) he made 8824 runs at an average of 39.21.
His 194 against India in 1997 was an ODI record high score for over 12 years. Charles Coventry shared the record, with Saeed Anwar, of the highest individual score in a One Day International, 194 not out. This was surpassed by Sachin Tendulkar's when he made 200 Vs South Africa.
