Averaged 47 in ODIs with a strike rate of 84....in the 1980s. Unbelievable record and doesn’t get his due as one of the best ODI batsmen of all time

@@spencerchurch3483 cause he was a finisher but credit where it is due , both Zaheer and Viv were special players but if you notice he gave away a lot of chances before he got his 100 . He is like a batsman who plays good but can't score a 100 unless he is there till the end . Someone like KL Rahul . Elegant technique and smart brains but too aggressive for the team and with high risk.

*When you have Lilly and Thompson bowling in a full size 85 meters boundary, then scoring even 10 runs is good enough.*
Probably the most elegant off side player. Great innings. Also shows how someone with Thommo's pace can trouble even well set batsman !
Look at his batting! A great mix of elegance with power. Watching him doing drives on cover gives me a joy ICC should've inducted a legend like him to the HOF a way before than when they actually did and it's quite surprising with little shock that player of zaheer Abbas stature who is one of the pioneer in Pakistan cricket getting this honour only by now!
Grew up reading about the legend that was Zaheer Abbas. Gavaskar had an entire video demonstrating how special his cover-drive was! Thanks for this clip, a feast for the eyes. Love from India.
What superb timing! That backfoot punch through the covers against Lillee @4:18 is just pure class. Gentleman Pakistani cricketer. Where is he nowadays? He should be involved with cricket administration in Pakistan.

Have never seen Zaheer Abbas bat..but man he was all class.. look at those cover drives and square cuts. Reminds me of Rahul Dravid
Very few shots he played on side. That just shows how great timer of the delivery he was. 90% of the shots which I've seen were through covers or extra covers. Great batman 🙏🏼
Zaheer Abbas sir to whom Sunil Gavaskar sir praises as great stylish elegant batsman & human being!
A great century from a great batsman against the likes of thomson and lillee creaming them to covers so elegantly , congratulations on your induction to icc hall of fame. One of the very best batsmen ever
He reminds me of, a rt handed version of lara in batting style
Clean strokes!! Looks like watching Brain Lara in mirror.
Nice to see Vault Music back!!😍😍
Watta World Class Batsman!!..Imran always said Zaheer Abbas and Sachin have the gift of timing..Glad I got a chance to experience it. Especially the backfoot coverdrive of Lilee at 95*..Great Timing!
It's funny to see Australian greats dropping catches like that😂 But damn!! Thommo!! 😍
Saw Zaheer play for Leicestershire and Pakistan in the late 70s and through the 80s. Such a beautiful batsman. Two of the biggest sixes I ever saw were hit by him. At Canterbury and Folkestone.
Wah,kya players the us time! Sabhi taali bajakar Zaheer Sahab ki century ki Mubarak Baad di❤
A legend of the game. Love and respect from Afghanistan
Not a chanceless but definitely an elegant innings. Good to see good batsmen from Pakistan.
Wow, just wow.....One of the best from this era. To me it looks like (pre release) he is coiling up his energy and as soon as the ball is released and he spots its line and length he releases his energy through the ball with a real flourish.
Power, perfection, poise and grace.... This man Abbas has got it all.... What a player... watching him is a real treat to eyes.... love from India
He's still on 2nd ranked on overall oneday rating

It is such a pleasure to see Zaheer batting.

I watched cricket in Australia from 1974 onwards. It was a great era and there were so many legendary players.

That flay on the off side is so reminiscent of Brian Lara. Looks like Zaheer Abbas is the right handed form of Lara. Very fluent, very classy and yes very successful. One of the few batting legends of Pakistan, I'd say the best batting legend of Pakistan, both in terms of style and consistency. Look at their Fawad Alam nowadays .... the guy is all over the place while batting. Who took him into their international team !!
I was not even born when this match happened 😂 ...the great Zaheer Abbas
He is the 1 who creatd cover drives
Only unbiased cricket channel on KZread. Hats off to cricket Australia for promoting cricket .
Pure class and elegance. What a timing, plays every stroke in the book front and back foot. Genius batsman.
When you value your hat more than the ball😃 3:47.
