Saeed Anwars Sixes ,Enjoy Clean And Neat Hitting ! All those Pakistan cricket fans form 1990s must have nostalgic memories of Saeed Anwar sending ball to the boundary from the gap between point and gulley. Cutting the ball that was pitched outside the off stump was favourite time pass of Saeed Anwar on the crease, no fielding wall was impregnable for Saeed playing on off side. It does not mean, however, that Saeed was only expert in hitting at one side only. In fact, it’s been over a decade since he left cricket but still Pakistan Cricket could not find a better opener or as good as Saeed was. He was capable of dismantling even the best bowling attacks, Anwar was an attacking batsman in one-day matches and once settled in Test matches, scored quickly and all over the field. His success came from good timing and wrist flicks rather than physical power, being famous for his trademark flick, and he could lift a ball that had pitched outside off stump for six over midwicket. His timing and ability to score quick runs made him a crowd favorite. He was named as a Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1997. This speaks for his greatness that legends like him are irreplaceable for decades.
