Former English Captain Nasser Hussain has again expressed his admiration for the Pakistan Legend Cricketer Saeed Anwar.

Nasser Hussain, the former England skipper, has picked named four batsmen he would pay to watch.

In his elite list, Pakistan Legend Cricketer finds a special place.

“In terms of being easy on the eye, Saeed Anwar had an elegance and grace through the off-side,” Nasser said about the Pakistan legend.

The southpaw had nearly 13,000 runs in a career that spanned from 1989 to 2003. Saeed also held the record for the highest individual ODI score of 194 for many years. He retired from the game in 2003 after the World Cup.

Nasser Hussain reserved the highest praise for Brian Lara. He said, “I’ve been watching some old footage of Brian Lara with that big back-lift and, wow, could he bat.”

Nasser Hussain also admitted that Brian Lara was the toughest batsman to plan for.

Nasser named his ‘childhood hero’ David Gower as the final batsman in the list of players he would pay to watch.

“But I have to go for my childhood hero David Gower. I remember an early game against Leicestershire and I was at cover point as he leant on one and before I could move it hit the boundary boards behind me. Everything I had admired was there in front of my eyes,” Nasser said about Gower.

David Gower player 117 Test matches for England between 1978 and 1992 and piled up 8,231 runs during the period.

He also picked Indian Captain Virat Kohli in his list.

” Virat Kohli in a 50-over run chase. He just seems to chase down any score every time.”
