Muhammad Javed Miandad popularly known
as Javed Miandad is a former Pakistani
cricketer
who played between 1975 and 1996. He is Pakistan's leading run scorer in Test
cricket. He is the greatest batsman Pakistan has ever produced. He has served
as a captain of the Pakistan national cricket team.
He is widely known for - his historic last ball big sixer against India in
1986, when 4 runs were required to win - winning an international game in that
fashion for the first time. After his playing career, he has remained the coach
of Pakistan cricket team at various occasions, as well as held positions in the
Pakistan Cricket Board. He had three
coaching stints with the Pakistan national team.
He is
the second batsmen that play with above 50 average score in an innings and 1st
Pakistani batsman. He is the most successful Pakistani batsmen and receives lot
of awards. Javed Miandad played 124 Test matches, batting in 189 innings. His
aggregate of 8,832 Test runs is a Pakistani record. Miandad's Test career
batting average of 52.57 is among the highest for Pakistani batsmen. He scored
six double centuries which is the most by a Pakistani and 6th overall. He has
honour of scoring centuries in both innings in the 100th test match against New
Zealand.
He
was also Pakistan's youngest captain and always considered to be the most
tactically astute. Imran Khan often acknowledges the role Miandad played as
vice-captain with key on-field decisions, though the two were chalk to the
other's cheese. But as captain possibly he was too abrasive to get on with all
of his players, as at least two player revolts against his leadership suggest.
And coinciding with the leadership of Imran, he never captained in as many
Tests as he might have done. As with most subcontinent greats, he possibly lingered
for longer than might have been advised, finally bowing out in 1996 after,
ironically, a loss to India in the World Cup. He was a funny cricketer and also
has aggressive. In a test match, he was just near to hit bat on the head of
Denis Lily when Empire covers the Denis Lily.
