1968
The birth of one of the most exciting and productive opening batsmen. Several of Saeed Anwar's Test centuries for Pakistan turned into big ones, often away from home. His first Test ton, for instance, was 169 against New Zealand in Wellington in 1993-94. He also belted 176 against England at The Oval in 1996, as well as an unbeaten 188, his highest Test score, in Calcutta in 1998-99. But it's Anwar's style and speed of scoring that will stay in the memory: according to the Almanack, his runs at Lord's in 1996 "typified the uninhibitedness of modern Pakistani batting". His one-day international record is one of the very best and his 20 hundreds included the highest score by any batsman: 194 against India in Chennai in 1996-97.
Saeed Anwar broke the record for the highest individual innings in a one-day international by scoring 194, from 146 balls, with 22 fours and five sixes, three in succession in one over from Kumble, which went for 226664. He beat the previous record, Viv Richards's unbeaten 189 for West Indies against England at Old Trafford in 1984, by five, and might have reached a double-hundred had he not top-edged a sweep to be caught at fine leg in the 47th over. It was a remarkable exhibition of controlled aggression, even if he was helped by a runner, Shahid Afridi, for most of the innings (he was suffering from heat exhaustion and loss of fluid). India were left a target of 328. They began on a poor note when Inzamam-ul-Haq took an athletic catch to dismiss Tendulkar, but Dravid sustained them with his maiden hundred in limited-overs internationals - also briefly assisted by a runner, Tendulkar, until the fielding side objected. They soon fell behind, however, after he pushed a catch to mid-wicket, one of five wickets for Aqib Javed. Afterwards, Tendulkar said Anwar's innings was the best he had seen, and the former Test bowler Bishen Bedi said batting like that comes once in a lifetime. Some observers - including TV commentator Glenn Turner - diluted their praise by noting that his runner made the innings much easier, given the extreme heat. Anwar himself said: "To beat India in India is something special. Only we know the pressure we were subjected to back at home after our loss at Bangalore in the World Cup." In contrast to past bitterness in India-Pakistan matches, the 45,000 crowd gave him a standing ovation.
LINCOLN: Pak U-19 Qualify For Cricket WC U-19 Final, Pakistan youth team beat West Indies by four wickets in the first semifinal of the Under-19 World Cup on Monday. Pakistan under-19 team completed the chase with loss of six wickets at Bert Stucliffe Oval in Lincoln. Pakistan won the toss and elected to field in the first semifinal of the youth world cup. KC Brathwaite scored 85 and SD Bowrich 55 for West Indies to set a competitive target of 212 runs. Hammad Azam 92 remains unbeaten and he does it again for Pakistan. He came in under pressure and played sensibly to get Pakistan over the line. Rameez Aziz 39, Mohammed Waqas 29 and Ahsan Ali 28 added useful contributions in Pakistan total to reach the victory target.
