7 hundreds: Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah

Perhaps one-day cricket's most under-appreciated batsmen, former Pakistan opener Saeed Anwar adopted the Sharjah Cricket Stadium, consistently planting big innings on the ground where he ended up playing 51 ODIs. The southpaw hit a massive 2,179 runs at the ground, averaging 45.40 with 7 centuries.

Anwar commenced his string of hundreds with the first one against Sri Lanka – a 110 at over a run a ball – in 1993, and later that year, smacked three consecutive centuries with innings of 107, 131 and 111, also against Sri Lanka and West Indies.

Come 1996, Anwar managed two successive hundreds at Sharjah with unbeaten knocks of 104 and 112, his final century coming against India in 1997. To go with that, he also hit 11 half-centuries at the stadium where he played the most number of ODIs.
