Wisden online profile on Sanwar Hossain said that he is Bangladesh's Stwart Law.

I don't know what type of a player Stwart Law of Australia was, can anybody tell me?

Never delivered to his potential. Made several ins-outs before being permanently lost around '97-'98.

That is SO SANWAR. I remember how effective Sanwar was when he first came in. He has been a steady performer in the practice matches for the last few years but when it came to the national team - always a few notches down. I don't know if it's the pressure or if he just gets FREAKED out but if he can produce his scores from the practice matches to the real matches, our 150s would reach 200 consistently (provided that others follow suit).

Stuart Law and Ricky Ponting came to the Australian national team almost around the same time. ACB started experimenting with sperate ODI and test teams at that point. Effective late middle order batsman. Also bowled as an effective over-filler with the odd wicket during the middle overs. Never really was given a chance in test cricket.

I don't know what the comparison is based on.

He played 1 Test in which he got 52* so he was quite unlucky. Brilliant batsman but unreliable. He is like Sanwar but now Stuart Law has been dropped from the Queensland side. He was captain 1 game then went over to county and did alright comes back and he was dropped

Stuart Law has actually been one of the most prolific scorers in English County Cricket in the last few years. But then again, every Aussie that plays County Cricket scores big runs.
