He maybe Pakistans best opener by a mile' date=' but not internationally Sachin, Gilchrist, Ganguly, Hayden,Mark waugh, Chris Gayle, Greenidge etc are better than Anwar, moreover you said greats like Richards and Anwar, as if Richards and Anwar are in the same league which they definitely are not.[/quote'] Out of these openers, only Sachin is better than Anwar. Ganguly,Mark Waugh & Hayden were excellent openers but they are not in class of Anwar & Sachin. Gayle is a nobody infront of Anwar.Richards was not an opener but I will select him before Sachin & Anwar in an ODI.

Explain. Only thing Anwar has going over Ganguly and Hayden is that his beard is more than 1000238 times the total hair on their bodies combined.

Noone in their infinite wisdom would choose Anwar over ganguly, unless ofcourse they can twist the facts.

Anwar's away record sucked. He averaged 29.73 away from Pakistan. Not that his over all record is outstanding- his career average is 39.21, which is good but nothing extraordinary. Hayden's career average is 43.80 and his away average is 43.12. That's a class player. No comparison whatsoever. And don't even take Tendulkar's name in the same sentence.

Anwar doesn't even belong in top 10 of openers. only stupid pakis will put him at top of the list. gayle is a no body infront of anwar? he would be hitting sixes right over his head.

Don't forget Azharuddin was captaining. I watched it live. Only thing Azzu didn't do was ask for an air condition for Saeed Anwar.
SRT was the captain. Poor Azhar didn't even play in that game. :cantstop:

Congrats to the young guy though I still dont think his innings can be compared to any of the top innings including anwar's, sachin's, ganguly's, richard's or dhoni's. But still the guy has done excellent to have broken or equalled that record. Hope somebody crossed the double centuring in ODI very soon

anwar's record was better, reasons 1) pressure. independence cup, do or die match in front of 50,000 people. 2) heat and exhaustion. 3) prasad, kumble, kuruvilla, joshi are better than the current bangladeshi bowling unit any day. 4) boundaries were longer and bat technology was not what it is right now. 5) he got his runs faster.

6. No power plays 7. No free hits 8. Away from home 9. Against top test playing nation 10. No glasses/magnifying glass to sight the ball better

12) Pad technology was different, nowadays they allow you to run faster. 13) His spikes melted in the Chennai heat, making it even more difficult 14) The tournament was sponsored by Coke, who is anti-Islam, therefore he went without a drink
