Personal life

Saeed Anwar was born on 6 September 1968 in Karachi. In 1973, he shifted with his family to Canada and came back to Karachi in 1977. Anwar went to high school at Government Degree Science College, Malir Cantt and went to university at NED University of Engineering and Technology, Karachi. He graduated from NED in 1989 majoring in Computer System Engineering. He was planning to go to the United States for his Master's studies before becoming a professional Test cricketer. His father, a businessman by profession, played cricket at club level whereas his brother, Jawed Anwar, represented Lahore Under-19 cricket team.[5][6]

Anwar married his cousin, Lubna, a doctor by profession, in March 1996.[5] He faced a personal tragedy in 2001 when his daughter, Bismah, died after a prolonged illness.[7][8] As a result, he turned religious and starting preaching Islam across Pakistan with the Tablighi Jamaat.[9][10] He made his return to cricket after a long hiatus and was one of the most consistent Pakistani batsmen in the 2003 World Cup. However upon his return, he lost his previous touch and could not perform as he did before. He was criticized for the loss of form which led to his retirement from cricket soon. "I retired because I felt unwanted", he said.[11] During his career, he was an elegant batsman and played particularly well on the off side, his trademark flick being a sure shot feature in almost all of his innings.[12] He led the funeral prayers for his former team mate Wasim Akram's spouse, Huma Akram, in Lahore.[13] He is also believed to be instrumental in Yousuf Youhana's (Muslim Name: Mohammad Yousaf) conversion to Islam in 2005. Youhana was the only Christian in the Pakistan cricket team till then and was said to be influenced by Anwar and the Tablighi Jamaat.[14][15]

Anwar was an outstanding opener in Test cricket.[16] He played 55 Test matches for Pakistan and scored 4052 at the average of 45.52. He is the seventh-highest run scorer for Pakistan in Test cricket, and scored 11 centuries and 25 half-centuries during his international career.[1] As an aggressive opening batsman, most of his centuries turned into relatively big scores.[17][18] He scored many of his centuries away against almost every team he toured, and averaged more than 40 against three of the four nations – South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and England – which have been most difficult for Asian batsmen. He has the highest Test batting average (59.06) of any Pakistani against Australia, and once scored two consecutive centuries against them.[19] Former Pakistan captain Ramiz Raja commented the "[Anwar] used an eclectic approach to batting – classical betrothed to unorthodox, footwork against spin as quick as a hiccup supple yet powerful to brush the field like a Picasso."[20]

He made his Test debut against the West Indies in a match which Pakistan lost at Iqbal Stadium, Faisalabad, in 1990. He got a pair in the match. Curtly Ambrose and Ian Bishop dismissed him in the first and second innings respectively.[21][22] In the third Test of his career, Anwar scored 169 runs in Pakistan's solitary innings against New Zealand in February 1994; Pakistan won the match by an innings and 12 runs.[23] Later in the same year during Pakistan's tour to Sri Lanka, his 94 and 136 runs in the first match at Colombo earned him a man of the match award, and ensured Pakistan's victory by 301 runs.[24] Scroring fifties—85 and 77 runs—in both the innings of the first Test against Australia at Karachi in September 1994, Anwar helped Pakistan led the three match series 1–0.[25] In the same season against Zimbabwe, he was unsuccessful with bat in the away series; he only managed 45 runs playing in four innings of two Tests.[26] Anwar scored three consecutive fifties against Sri Lanka in the 1995 home series.[27] In the series, he played three innings scoring 154 runs with an average of 51.50.[28]

In the 1998–99 season, Anwar played two Tests against the touring Australia, and scored 290 at the average of 96.66, including two centuries.[41] His partnership of 120 runs with Mushtaq Ahmed, for the ninth, prevented Pakistan's collapse in the first innings of the first Test at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.[42] He scored 145 runs in the match, but Pakistan lost the match by an innings and 99 runs.[43] In the next home series, Anwar played two matches against Zimbabwe, scoring 142 runs at the average of 47.33.[44] He was inaffective against India, scoring 101 runs in two matches, during Pakistan's tour to India.[45]

Anwar played three Test during Pakistan's tour of Australia in 1999–2000 season, scoring 282 runs at the average of 47.00.[52] His performance in the series, a century and two fifties, could not prevent Pakistan's defeat of 3–0.[53] Anwar captained Pakisan in the first two Tests during the Sri Lanka tour to Pakistan, and scored 217 runs at the average of 54.25.[54] In the reply series in 2000, Pakistan and Sri Lanka played three matches and won the series 2–0.[55] Anwar scored 185 runs, including a century and a fifty.[56] During the 2000–01, he played five matches against England, three at home and two at away; in both the series, he scored at averages less than 31 and 16 respectively.[57][58] Anwar's last Test was against Bangladesh during the 2001–02 Asian Test Championship; he scored 101 runs in Pakistan's solitary innings which ensured an innings and 264 runs win at the Multan Cricket Stadium.[59] His daughter died the same day.[9]

Wisden Cricketer of the Year – 1997

An opening batsman capable of annihilating any bowling attack on his day, Anwar was an attacking batsman in ODI matches and once settled in Test matches, scored quickly and all over the field. His success came from good timing. Anwar became famous for his trademark flick. He was able to lift a ball that had pitched outside off stump for six over midwicket. Anwar's timing and ability to score quick runs made him a crowd favourite. In 1997, when he was as one of the Wisden Cricketers of the Year, the cricket almanack Wisden described him that he "moved his front foot and head well across, then his wrists hovered, hawk-like, over the advancing ball, extending further and further as if they were elastic if the ball was slanted ever more away from him, before the bat flowed into a square-drive to the boundary".[5]

Captaincy

Anwar captained Pakistan in seven Tests and 11 ODIs, but his performance as captain was average.[8]
