Two batting legends

 

[sayon basak]

Saeed Anwar averages 47 as an opener. Pretty well rounded record home and away considered. Othe other hand, Ian bell averaged 37 overseas. Plus Anwar was an opener.

Anwar by a lot.

 

[howitzer]

Anwar had low relative longevity. Bell is mostly a myth though apart from a couple of series' he mostly scored soft runs. This is Saeed easily despite the longevity issues.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Anwar's bat was a scimitar delivering death by a thousand cuts. Not a great but the scariest elegant batsman for Indian fans of a certain vintage, mostly for his ODI exploits though it must be said.
