Salman Butt Biography

source(google.com.pk)
Salman Butt (born October 7, 1984 in Lahore, Pakistan) is a Pakistani cricketer who regularly opens the batting for his national side in both Test and ODI matches. He made his Test debut on September 3, 2003 in the 3rd test against Bangladesh, and a year later made his ODI debut against West Indies on September 22, 2004. He started in the Under-17s and quickly progressed through to Under-19 level, although at the time he was much younger than the age limits suggest, making his senior debut for Lahore Whites in 2000 aged only 16. His talent was noticed immediately, which led to him being given a place in the Pakistan A team against England soon after. However, instead of rushing straight for the limelight of international cricket, he got his head down and consolidated by playing consistently for his region and the youth teams, until the Pakistan selectors finally drafted him in 2003. After his debut, Butt was dropped and struggled to regain his place due to some stiff competition for the openers' spots. He returned for the Champions' Trophy in 2004 and scored his first fifty for Pakistan in the Paktel Cup against Sri Lanka. He was not yet particularly famous. In the ODI against India on 13 November 2004, as Pakistan chased down 292, he formed partnerships first with Shoaib Malik, putting on 113, and subsequently with Inzamam-Ul-Haq. Despite having to retire hurt for seven overs due to severe cramp, he returned to steer Pakistan home, finishing on 108 not out. Yet 2005 saw little improvement, and doubts circulated about his defensive technique causing him to yo-yo in and out of the side. But things started looking up again during the winter Test series against England, in which he scored a century and two fifties with a more cautious attitude to his innings-building the he had previously shown.

Saeed Anwar

Saeed Anwar Biography

source(google.com.pk)
Born in Karachi on September 6th 1968, the Pakistan Captain Saeed Anwar has become one of the best batsmen in the world through hard work, dedication combined with his exceptional talent. He has a tremendous eye, excellent timing, and makes use of his wrists better that any other batsmen in the game. He can find the gaps at will, and more often that not, a little push from Saeed simply races away to the boundry. Strong on all sides of the wicket, Saeed's favorite shot is the cut shot, which he plays better than any other Pakistani batsmen.

Very strong on the off side, Saeed has the ability to play some glorious cover drives that are an absolute delight to watch. His off side shots are so good, that he is considered to be the best off side player, among left handed batsmen in the world.

The reason for his immaculate off side play is because of his sound technique. He is solid in defence, yet can destroy any bowling attack in the world in a matter of minutes. His strength in timing and the ability to play on the rise, combined with excellent execution, makes him the best opener to ever come from Pakistan...far ahead of the likes of Soahil,Raja,and the Mohammad brothers.

As a first class cricketer, Saeed used to bat in the middle order however once he made his ODI debut in Australia, he was thrust into the opener's role. He began opening the innings in domestic
cricket, and made his way back into the ODI side as a specialist opener. Despite, having lost out on precious years due to politics in the PCB, Saeed never lost hope. He made most of the limited
opportunity's that Imran Khan gave him, yet he was over looked for the likes of Shoaib Mohammad and Ramiz Raja...players who never performed outside of Pakistan.

In 1993, Saeed created a new world record..he hit three back to back ODI hundreds in Sharjah, a feat never before achieved by any Pakistani player. He was now finally a permanant member of the ODI side, under Wasim Akram. However, he was still not considered for a test spot..once again a huge error by the selectors.

In 1994 however, Saeed finally got a chance to show his worth as a test match plater. He hit a mammoth 169 in New Zealand and combined it with some important half centuries in the rest of the series. He had now proven his credentials as a solid test match player with the temperment and ability to succeed at the level.

Since 1994, Saeed has played another 40 odd test matches, scored over 3500 runs and averages 47.20. He is simply a brilliant player. He is also the Captain of the Pakistan team. He has the ability to
lead from the front and become an excellent Captain, as time will tell.

Saeed is an excellent team man and gets along extremely well with his team mates, who have nothing but praise for him..as well as fans
and press alike. Saeed is also a Computer Engineer, and his wife Lubna, is a doctor who takes care of him when he gets his regular dose of flu.
