Anwar is a better quality bat than any opener in the SC besides Gavaskar. However, I would put Sehwag ahead of Anwar based on career length and output but not Jaya.

Nope. Anwar was not good in tough conditions. He was good on flat tracks and on tracks that helped spin or pace to a moderate degree.
Mahela was poor against moving ball, beast on flat tracks, but his specialty was playing well on paddy field like pitches, and he was one of the ATGs in that. The way he batted would have been an excellent player on sticky wickets too.
Both had aesthetics. Anwar had the raw power too.
Marginally Anwar.
