Saeed Anwar is a Computer Engineer from NED University Karachi, and he was admitted to NED on open merit not on sports quota seats, he is skilled person, and he must be doing good for himself as an professional engineer as well!
Other NEDians who played with him are:
Saeed Anwar ( Computer Engineer)
Rashid Latif ( Civil Engineer)
Asif Mujtaba ( Mechincal Engineer)
Haris Khan ( Electrical Engineer)
Nadeem Khan (elder brother of Moin Khan) (Mechincal Engineer)
Manzoor Akhtar (younger brother of Mansoor Akhtar) (Mechincal Engineer)
by the way in one ODI all these 6 NEDians have played for Pakistan! :)
If they all join hands to train Pakistani openers, if nothing else, Pakistani openers will become mechanics :)
With the recent improved display from the openers, one wonders if Saeed can give some coaching via video conferencing…I know people will say that here comes the laptop coach style again from the woolmer days…
but using technology should be an option. I mean you can’t imagine Saeed giving basic training to these openers (not that they don’t need it but seems like a difficult ask), he can just watch them play and point out the mistakes. That can be done after watching their game via web or videos as well.
More than anything else he can help them with the way they plan their innings…one of Saeed’s strengths was his ability to kick on and make big 50s and big 100s once he got his eye in…Farhat and Butt tend to throw away their starts, they also dont run well between wickets and neither play the short ball to well…Saeed could help them with all this and much more..though you wonder why Intikhab didnt do any of this since he`s supposedly the ‘coach’.
