Respect from India, not only great cricketer but one of nicest human being, very humble and soft spoken
Ankit Raghuwanshi thanks, love from Pakistan
He is indeed good human being and magician at the same time
Hey i have an interesting channel about space science and mysteries if ur curious about it do visit my channel once pls 🙏 .
Thnx , we also respect indian legends
@@starsaber9378 Thanks Brother 👍
Gavaskar wasn't lying about his elegant batting. True legends know each other well...
He said his Favourite batsman is Rohit
Cricket Australia Really Appreciate's Talent without any Discrimination. Hats off
What kind of discrimination???
That only 😊😊 there mentality is very good 👍
Bhai why are you putting discrimination in everything? He was a true legend the whole world knows it.
Nomad banda thank you for this, but you know very well how other people discriminate just because of race and nationality
@@nomadbanda9562 cricket Australia uploads every country" s best individual performance videos by not only showing their own country best performance he meant to say that actually.
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
Just got inducted in ICC hall of fame.
agree
He's ranked as the second greatest player of odi of all time by icc
Glad that someone noticed it. It was truely amazing to have that strike rate at that time. It's no fluke that he achieved 2nd best ever odi batting rating.
@@musharrafabdullah5458 who is number 1? Sir Vivian Richards?
So Lara was almost mirror image of Zaheer Abbas, the backlift is so prominent
Was exactly thinking the same , lara and hashim amla these two batsam I saw in this cricketer
Muhammad azharudeen style is also similar
Can add Gordon Greenidge to that list as well
After him Azharudin VVS Laxman and Mark Waugh were quite good on back foot and playing square cut
Shubhendra Singh Ponting!
One of the Legend not only from Pakistan but from subcontinent. So gentle & humble man with great record to his name. Lots of respect for true champion of the game. Love from India 🇮🇳
A guy so good, Michael Holding publicly admitted he's glad he didn't have to bowl to him.
But he doesn't have good record avg 16 against windies
.
@@jiteshkumar3774 87 against India..i guess balances out
@@jiteshkumar3774 Against the hardest bowling attack to bat against ever.
@@omerinflow indian bowling sucks bro
@@jiteshkumar3774 Every legend has a small weakness that doesn't decline his/her legacy ...Instead of noticing his failures we should see his records and class of batting bro....
My father used to tell me how stylish was Zaheer Abbas's batting...he and David Gower.....thanks to youtube I can see it for myself...👍
I was going to write the same lines about my father , but found your comment and dropped the idea .
@@NeerajSingh009 hi5
Same feeling
Azharuddin too very staylist player
@@harunkatlerywala9776 true. It's unfortunate he succumbed to corruption fixing otherwise he would've gone even farther and break records
One of the most underrated and greats of the game...his record in those times were phenomenal... imagine if he were playing in the modern days....hats off 👍👏👏 from a diehard Indian fan
Agreed. Cricket was not that much commercialized in that era. Also there were not such rules; neutral umpires, 3rd umpires, reviews, no restriction on number of bouncers per over etc. No batting power plays
Bro he is not underrated.. He is ranked 2nd in all time cricket batsmen rankings
@@hassanwadaich175 i din mean that it was just that he played in thet era when cricket was not commercialized dont get me wrng bro I am a big fan of him
He was called Don Bradman of asia how can he be underrated with this title given.
he's called run-machine
This is 7th replay of this awesome video. Just can't stop seeing his batting. (It's first time I am watching Zaheer Abbas bhai) ❤️❤️❤️❤️
So Hashim Amla comes from Zaheer Abbas School of Batting
No he has his own class.
Bilkul such kaha Hashim amla ka batting style yehi tha aur yehi class thi
Brian Lara copied him i guess... They bat the same way
I don't think this is case Mr Manoj, I tried my hardest to imitate Brian Lara but failed. I conclude that best way of batting is natural one.
May be their is natural similarity.
Zaheer Abbas had a strike rate of over 80 along with Viv in his time (ODIs). He was one of the most flair and flashy batsmen. If he had played T20, he could have been one of the GOATs. Incredibly courageous batsman (Asian Bradman)
Bradman's strike rate is actually superior to Viv as well.
Kapil Dev had a strike rate of around 95.
Hey i have an interesting channel about space science and mysteries if ur curious about it do visit my channel once pls 🙏 .
Divyanshu Shankar yeah with an average of 20
@@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.
gavaskar once said to him
zaheer ab bas karo
*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 !
What an incredible player. Congratulations to him for the ICC Induction!
Dad says... We had 2 heroes... Viv and Zed Zaheer Abbas... Best cover drives ever
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.
Really, the way the players are playing now
He remained chairman of cricket board
The only Asian to hit 100+ first class centuries Rightly inducted into ICC Hall of fame LEGEND
Sachin has 100 international centuries what is your point?
@@chohansworld6048 that he hit 100 first class centuries.
@@cheesemccheese5780 both are legends of the game
@@chohansworld6048 I agree
That high back lift and the speed of the hands. Pure Art !!!
Arguably the greatest Odi Batsman after Richards During 80s and late 70s❤️
Right handed brian lara..look at the backlift😄
Brain lara was a left handed zaheer abbas if u agree r not
@@waseempasha5748 not😂
Zaheer-lara, richard+gavaskar-sachin, javed- dhoni+rohit,sachin-virat+babar+Williamson+root history hai bhai senior ko dekh k hi juniors sikhte hai lekin o senior apni country kahi ho a kisi legendary book me bhi nahi likha and am 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Shyam Patel Zahher abbas Sahab Had Debuted Years Ago Since lara so Why cant U say left Handed Zaheer abbas for lara
True indeed
One of the finest ODI batsman of 80's.
ICC HALL OF FAME
Zareer Abbas just received a hall of fame inclusion from. ICC because his historical contributions in cricket , what a great batsman, what a handsome and humble guy Pakistan 🇵🇰 produced ❤
STYLE is the middle name of this magnificent player
Greatest batsman all time. Respect from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰😋
Being an indian I must say zaheer abbas was the best batsman of his era
You don't need to be from any country while appreciating class!!!
When the pace was right, ZED was Picasso!
Nice words....
Man just celebrated his century just like its a very usual achievement for him. Class...
How about today's players? They'll do anything to impress girls.
One of my favorite players growing up. As Gavaskar used to say the sheer class is just unbelievable. Even though I’m an Indian, he was one of my favorites ever.
Such an elegant player he was.. Beautiful to watch ❤️
I am from India ,in 1980 s i had a chance to see few matches and radio commentaries,to Pakistan Zaheer Abbas,
One of the greatest pair of commentary of channel 9
Tony Greig and Ian Chappell regards Zaheer is asian Bradman.
One of the finest ,and elegant stroke player Pakistan ever produced.
First time I'm watching zahir bat...
He looks like a right handed version of Brian charles Lara
Zaheer had the phenomenal timing. Like Gundappa Viswanath he was also underrated by the cricket pundits and got nothing what he deserved...
My God what a player..real flair..Why he is so underrated?
People from India are praising his batting skills means Z. Abbas is not underrated.
@@hamdaanali3220 Most of the Indians praise great players irrespective of their nationalities...But when we talk about batting greats of all time I have hardly seen the name of Zaheer Abbas ...May be records were not very attractive ( which I am not so sure about) but stroke play and flair is certainly of top class...
@@prashy069 :
Thanks Bhai Jaan For Replying to my comment.
GOD BLess You Sir Ji.
I Really respect Indian Brothers.
@@hamdaanali3220 my pleasure brother..Loved the conversation with our neighbour who is so humble ..
@@prashy069 :
I feel proud as you gave response to my comments.
Mai Dhannye ho gaya !! ( is it a correct sentence ? )
Oh my father always told me about this legend and he uses to praise him a lot but now i see why... Batting at a average of 47 that time is absolutely masterclass...
Love from Kashmir ❤️❤️
Wah,kya players the us time! Sabhi taali bajakar Zaheer Sahab ki century ki Mubarak Baad di❤
My father used to talk about Zaheer's talent. He was a legend, probably underrated 👍🏼
He's still on 2nd ranked on overall oneday rating
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.
Never saw anyone dominating the Aussie attack like the Asian Bradman aka Zaheer Abbas !
Clean strokes!!
Looks like watching Brain Lara in mirror.
He reminds me of, a rt handed version of lara in batting style
One of the stylish batsmen I have ever seen in my life
Zaheer Abbass scoring machine of 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
Zaheer Abbas sir to whom Sunil Gavaskar sir praises as great stylish elegant batsman & human being!
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
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 🙏🏼
A legend of the game. Love and respect from Afghanistan
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
It is such a pleasure to see Zaheer batting. He was my favourite Pakistani batsman (with Asif Iqbal and Javed Miandad) and it was nice to see Rod Marsh congratulate him on his century and Greg Chappell bowling. I watched cricket in Australia from 1974 onwards. It was a great era and there were so many legendary players.
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.
It's funny to see Australian greats dropping catches like that😂 But damn!! Thommo!! 😍
Nice to see Vault Music back!!😍😍
Zaheer and saeed anwar two elegant and best players of pakistan produced
Zaheer is best batsman crushed India in various test matches of 5 days.
Loved it...looks really nice...Great job🔥🔥🔥🔥
Not a chanceless but definitely an elegant innings. Good to see good batsmen from Pakistan.
Most stylish player. Zed we miss you
haven't seen a batsman so elegant on the backfoot
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!
He is the 1 who creatd cover drives
people of my generation are really lucky, growing up 70s, 80s and 90s we experienced best of cricket.
Amazing stroke play…seeing Zaheer Abbas play for first time…just came here after kind words from sunny Gavaskar on induction of mr Abbas into ICC
Hashim Amla kind of reminds of Zaheer Abbas batting style
Playing elegantly and aggressively the cricket of 2020 almost 40 years ago. What a class.
Top class . Great player . Love from indian fan Abbas bhai 🙏🙏🙏
Zahir abbas scored 186 in 1979 vs australia in australia and that was in M.C.G. It is a world record in a ODI match against australia till now.
One of the best batters of his generation
He was only player from asia have a 107 first class hundreds .and player in the world have 4 time hundred and dubal hundreds in a first class cricket .
108
108
& remained not out in all those 8 innings.
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 !!
Hes ranked 2nd in the all Time greatest batters below viv Richards. I've never really heard about him but all the old timers regard him as pakistans greatest batsman.
If u give three chance to any Pakistani batsman,he will score hundred definetely.However Zaheer abbas is Pakistani legend.Congrats on joining icc hall of fame👏
Lookalike.... money heist professor 🤔
Sahi bola🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thanks CA for bringing such nice legends to us from vault. Respect each gentleman's to cherish the game of grit and sheer character.
I was not even born when this match happened 😂 ...the great Zaheer Abbas
Man , is this footage truly paying respect to him or showing the no of chances oz missed to make him reach his Hundred !
True !
Seems like Aussies fielding in this video paid tribute to the current Pakistani fielding haha
No doubt a natural batsman. Timing was key with his batting.....
Imran Khan said only 2 players had natural timing one is Sachin & the other is Zaheer Abbas … he is 100% correct
What a graceful player.. facing Thompson and Lillee like that ease and elegance take some skills and guts too
What a player he was❤❤❤
Zaheer Abbas was the most classy batsman of 70s and 80s. Boy, when he plays those square drive elegantly twisting wrist on top of the ball..I can tell you youngsters, keep watching those again and again in slow motion.
what elegance and class .Batting artist.Tons of respect and admiration from India for the batting machine.
80's and 70's footage from Australia looks so good. No idea why the PCB can't improve footage and upload some old great innings.
Up till 70s pakistani and indian recorded match videos were in black and white while outside like England and Australia they already started in color
When you value your hat more than the ball😃 3:47.
Only unbiased cricket channel on RUclips. 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.
Nice to see a legend like Greg chappel in a action
Yeah. A legend like Greg Chappel
Great to see Asian Bradman's cover drives....
Another interesting fact, it looks like Pakistan's current team is doing field in the ground... What's your opinion!!!
My most favourite stylish Pakiatani batsman ..what elegance
Right handed Brian Lara 🙌🏻 love from 🇨🇷 Costa Rica
Now I know where Amla gets his style from!
Elegant innings 💯
Marvelous Batting and Amazing Personality Zahir Abbas...
Pure Class Batting by Zaheer. Pakistan those days had the best batting lineup. Mudassar, Javed, Zaheer , Wasim Raja, and Bari.
