Asia Cup India vs Pakistan: India need to restrain in-form Pakistan captain Babar Azam | Cricket News

The fear factor around the Pakistan team that a generation grew up watching revolved around their incredible bowling attack. Still, each world-beating Pakistan unit invariably had a couple of terrific batters – be it Javed Miandad, Inzamam-ul-Haq, Saeed Anwar, Mohammed Yousuf or Younis Khan. After a period of being in the doldrums in the 2010s, the sub-continental giants are showing signs of…

Javed Miandad

Mohammad Javed Miandad  (born 12 June 1957), 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. ESPNcricinfo described him as "the greatest batsman Pakistan has ever produced".[1] 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.[2] 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

Early life

Javed Miandad was born on 12 June 1957 in Karachi.[4] His parents moved from Palanpur, Gujarat, India.[citation needed] Javed Miandad is a Tyagi (Muslim).[5] Cricket was his family game.[4] He had three brothers play first-class cricket in Pakistan: Anwar Miandad, Sohail Miandad and Bashir Miandad.[6][7][8] His nephew, Faisal Iqbal, is also a Test cricketer.[9]

Test career

Debut and early years

Pakistan first Test captain, Abdul Hafeez Kardar, when saw the Miandad during 70s, predicted famously about him: "the find of the decade".[1] His inclusion in the Pakistan team was itself an achievement. A formidable batting line-up of Mushtaq Mohammad, Majid Khan, Sadiq Mohammad, Zaheer Abbas, Asif Iqbal and Wasim Raja were hard to break into, but Miandad's raw talent made it possible and he become an integral part of Pakistan's strong batting line. He made his Test debut against New Zealand at the Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore on 9 October 1976.[1] He scored 163 and 25 not out in tha match, and became the youngest batsman to score a century on debut, at the age of 19 years and 119 days; he also took a wicket in the match and Pakistan won the match by six wickets.[10][11] In the third match of the same series, he scored a double century—206 runs at the National Stadium, Karachi.[12] He broke George Headley's 47-year old record, and became the youngest player—aged 19 years and 140 days—to score a double-century.[13] He scored 85 runs in the second innings, failing to accomplish the unique feat of scoring a double-century and a century in a single match.[14] Miandad was the highest run-scorer of the series, with 504 runs from five innings at the average of 126.00.[15] His performance ensured Pakistan's victory in the three-match series by 2–0.[12]

During Pakistan's tour to Australia in 1976–77, he played three Tests and scored 148 runs at the average of 29.60.[16] He also took five wickets in the series, including three wickets for 85 runs at the Adelaide Oval.[17][18] In the 1977–78 home series against England, Miandad scored 262 runs at the average of 131.00, including three half-centuries.[19] His highest score in an innings in the series was 88 runs not out at the Niaz Stadium, Hyderabad.[20] Miandad scored a Test century in his first match against India at the Iqbal Stadium, Faisalabad, during the 1978–79 series between the teams.[21] With 154 not out in the match, he completed his first 1,000 Test runs at the age of 21 years and 126 days; he took 23 innings and 14 matches to achieve the feat – the second youngest batsman after Kapil Dev to do so.[22] In the same series, by scoring another century at the National Stadium, he accumulated 357 runs from five innings at the average of 178.50, and ensured Pakistan's victory 2–0.[23][24] In the same season, Miandad palyed three matches in New Zealand, and accumulated 297 runs against them at the average of 99.00.[25] Bieng the highest run-scorer of the series, he also scored 160 not out at the Lancaster Park, Christchurch.[25][26] During the Pakistan's tour to Australia in the same season, he scored 183 runs at the average of 61.00, including 129 runs not out at the WACA Ground, Perth.[27][28]

Success in the early-1980s

Under the captaincy of Asif Iqbal in 1979–80, Pakistan toured India and played a six-Test match series against them.[29] Miandad was one of the most "consistent" batsmen, scoring 421 runs—behind Sunil Gavaskar's 529 and Wasim Raja's 450—with the help of four fifties, averaged 42.10.[30][31] During the third series at the Wankhede Stadium, Bombay, he completed 2,000 Test runs of his career; he took 42 innings and 24 matches to achieve the feat, and became the fastest Pakistani to do so.[22][32] In the same season, Miandad was appointed as Pakistan's captain for the first time, against the touring Australia.[33] He scored 181 runs at the average over 60 in the series, including 106 runs not out at the Iqbal Stadium, Faisalabad, and Pakistan won the three-match series 1–0.[33][34] In the solitary series of the 1980–81 at home, against the West Indies, Miandad scored 230 runs at the average of 32.85.[35] He scored 60 of the 128 runs in the Pakistan's first innings of the third Test match, after they were 14 runs for four wickets.[36][37] In the 1981–82, during the Pakistan's tour of Australia, Miandad captained the Pakistan team in three Test maches. During the first Test at Perth, he involved in an unpleasent controversy with Dennis Lillee—Lillee blocked his way while he was taking a single runs.[38] Pakistan lost the first two matches of the series, but they won the third Test at Malbourne by an innings and 82 runs, and finished the series 2–1.[39] Miandad batted consistently throughout the series, but could get support from his team-mates as a captain.[38] He scored 205 runs from five innings at the average of 41.00, including two half-centuries.[40]

In the home series of the same season against Sri Lanka, he captained the team in three Tests, although the players refused to play under his captaincy following the Lillee-Miandad controversy. Pakistan won the series by 2–0, with Miadad scoring 176 at the average over 35, including 92 runs at the National Stadium.[41][42] After the refusal of senior players to play under Miandad captaincy, Imran Khan was appointed as a new captain for the 1982 England tour; Khan was leading the team for the first time.[41][43] Pakistan lost the three-Test match series 2–1, with Miandad scoring 178 runs at the average of 35.60.[41][44] In his next series against the touring Australia, he scored his eighth century—138 runs—in the third Test at the Gaddafi Stadium, and ensured Pakistan's third succesive win in the series.[45][46] On his performance in the series, the cricket almanack Wisden noted that he "grew further in stature as an international batsman, his youthful audacity now being supplanted by a technical competence and insatiable appetite for runs."[47]

In their home series against India in 1982–83, Pakistan played six Tests and defeated them by 3–0; Pakistan's victories at Karachi, Hyderabad and Faisalabad were gained by large margins.[48] Miandad's consistency of scoring runs, along with Zaheer, Mudassar and Mohsin Khan, crushed the Indian bowling line. Miandad was the third highest run-scorer, with 594 runs – after Mudassar's 761 and Zaheer's 650 runs – at the average of 118.80; they made the record for the three top batsmen in any Test series.[49] Miandad and Mudassar's partnership of 451 runs in the Hyderabad Test constituted a new world record for the third wicket, and equalled the all-time record for any Test wicket,made by Don Bradman and Bill Ponsford in 1938.[49] They became the first two Pakistani batsmen to score double-centuries in an inning.[50] Miandad scored his career best 280 not out, before the captain Imran Khan, decided to declare the innings, thus stopping him from "possibly breaking the individual Test world record of Sir Garfield Sobers".[51][52] Cricket critics call this "one of the worst decisions by Imran as captain of Pakistan" as he "didn't even give him a particular time or the number of overs he could bat on for."[52] Miandad, however never expressed displeasure on the decision.[52] Pakistan visited India in 1983–84 under the captaincy of Zaheer, and played a leveled three-Test match series.[53] Miandad scored 225 runs in the series at the average of 75.00, including 99 runs at Bangalore.[54][55] Miandad scored 131 runs against Australia at the Adelaide Oval, the third Test of the series between the teams.[56] He could not perform consistently and finished the series with 302 runs at average of over 33, with Pakistan lost the five-match series 2–0.[57][58]

During 1984–88

Miandad scored centuries in the each innings of the second Test of the 1984–85 series against New Zealand; he scored 104 and 103 not out at the Niaz Stadium, Hyderabad. In the second innings of the match, he established a partnership of 212 runs for third wicket with Mudassar, a Pakistani record at that time. This was the 1,000 match in the history of Test cricket.[59] He was the highest run-scorer of the series, with 337 runs at the average over 84;[60] Pakistan won the series 2–0.[61] Miandad captained the Pakistan cricket team in the next series against the same team, which was played in New Zealand. He could not maintained his previous form against them, and only managed to score 138 runs, averaged below 28.[62][63] During 1985–86 Sri Lankan tour to Pakistan, three Test matches were played between the teams.[64] Miandad, who was captaining Pakistan, made his third double century in the first Test at Iqbal Stadium. During his innings of 203 not out, he made a partnership of 397 runs with Qasim Umar—who also made a double century in the innings—for third wicket, which was eighth highest overall and second highest for the third wicket at that time.[65] Miandad's score of 306 runs from three innings were the most by any batsmen in the series, and his average for the score was 153.00. [66] In the same season Pakistan visited Sri Lanka, and played three Tests against them. During the second Test, Two unpleasant incidents occurred: when an umpire started rubbing the new ball replaced with the older one on the ground, during Pakistan's second innings after sixteen overs to get the similar characteristics; Pakistan manager came to the umpire and showed him the 1985 Wisden's relevant Law; and Miandad's disagreement to the umpire's decision of lbw against him. Later on someone from the crowd threw a stone upon Miandad, and he went upstairs into the crowd to take revenge from the spectator.[67][68]

Later career

In 1992, during the Pakistan tour to England, he scored 153 not out in the first Test at Edgbaston, Birmingham.[69] From then to his retirement he scored 578 runs, without scoring a century, at the average of 32.11 in 11 Tests. He made only four half-centuries during that period.[70]

Miandad played 124 Test matches, batting in 189 innings. His aggregate of 8,832 Test runs is a Pakistani record. Even though his test career spanned 17 years, he failed to make it into the top-most category of batsmen with test aggregates of over 10,000 runs.[1][71] Miandad's 23 centuries and 43 fifties were Pakistani national records, until they were broken by Inzamam-ul-Haq. Miandad's Test career batting average of 52.57 is currently 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.[72] He made his highest score of 280 not out against India.Pakistan went on to win that match by an innings and 119 runs.[73] He scored six double centuries which are the most by a Pakistan batsman.[22]

One Day International career

Miandad made his One Day International debut against the West Indies at Edgbaston, Birmingham in the 1975 Cricket World Cup. Interestingly, his last ODI was also a World Cup match, and Pakistan lost the match. More, he scored 2 fours and 0 sixes and his strike rate was below 100 in both of his, first and last ODI innings.[74][75] His highest ODI score came against India at the Gaddafi Stadium in a match which Pakistan lost in 1982. He scored 119 not out off 77 balls with a strike rate of 154.54 in the match.[3][76]

Miandad is famously known for last ball six against India during the final of 1986 Austral-Asia Cup. In a great finale, the last over bowled by Chetan Sharma began with 11 runs required. Two wickets fell during the over with Pakistan needing 4 runs and India one wicket from the last ball. Miandad hit the ball, low full-toss from Sharma, for a six into the crowd.[77] Pakistan recorded their first win at a major tournament and Miandad finished his innings with 116 not out.[78][79] This is still considered as one of the most historic moments in the history of ODI cricket and he became a national hero.[3][80][81]

Javed Miandad is the first (and one of the only two, other being Sachin Tendulkar) player to have played in six World Cups, the first six, from 1975 to 1996.

Captaincy

After the retirement of Asif Iqbal following a loss of a series to India, 22 years old Miandad was made the captain of Pakistan.[82] The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) preferred him over the senior cricketers like Zaheer Abbas, Sarfraz Nawaz, Majid Khan and Wasim Bari who were still playing. He faced a little opposition but his first two series as captain, in 1981/82, included a win against Australia, and a credible 0–1 loss to the West Indies.[83][84] After a tough tour of Australia, oppostion to his captaincy gained strength, and his first captaincy period ended during the following home series against Sri Lanka.[85][86].[3]

Him coming into the pak team was an achievement as the side had a formidable batting line up Mushtaq Mohammad, Majid Khan , Zaheer Abbas,Sadiq Mohammad, Asif Iqbal, Wasim Raja to break through but his raw talent made it possible he then became an integral part of the strong batting line up. His debut was against New Zealand at the Gaddafi Stadium Lahore on 9 October 1976.He started brilliant scoring 163 and 25 not out in that match and was the youngest batsmen to score hundred on debut he also took a wicket in that game and Pakistan won the match by 6 wickets.Couple of matches later in the 3rd test he scored a double hundred and emerged as the highest run scorer in the series which helped Pakistan to win the series 2-0.

Pakistan did win the Melbourne test but lost the series 2-1.Miandads own performance was great in that series where he made 205 runs at an average of 41. Next he captained Pakistan in the home series against Srilanka even though the players refused to play under him due to the lilee miandad controversy.

Javed Miandad

Mohammad Javed Miandad (Urdu: محمد جاوید میانداد) (born 12 June 1957), popularly known as Javed Miandad (Urdu: جاوید میانداد), is a former Pakistani cricketer who played between 1975 and 1996. He is Pakistan's leading run scorer in Test cricket. ESPNcricinfo described him as "the greatest batsman Pakistan has ever produced".[1] 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.[2] 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

Early life

Javed Miandad was born on 12 June 1957 in Karachi.[4] His parents moved from Palanpur, Gujarat, India.[citation needed] Javed Miandad is a Tyagi (Muslim).[5] Cricket was his family game.[4] He had three brothers play first-class cricket in Pakistan: Anwar Miandad, Sohail Miandad and Bashir Miandad.[6][7][8] His nephew, Faisal Iqbal, is also a Test cricketer.[9]

International career

Test career

Miandad made his Test debut against New Zealand at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore on 9 October 1976. He scored 163 in this match, to become the youngest player at the time to do so at an age of 19 years and 119 days.[10] In the same series he scored a double century, and on his way broke George Headley's 47-year record, to become the youngest player to achieve the feat.[11]

Pakistan first Test captain, Abdul Hafeez Kardar, when saw the young batsman during 70s, famously predicted Miandad "the find of the decade".[1] His inclusion in the Pakistan team was itself an achievement. A formidable batting line-up of Majid Khan, Sadiq Muhammad, Zaheer Abbas, Asif Iqbal, Mushtaq Muhammad and Wasim Raja was hard to break into, but Miandad's raw talent made it possible and he become an integral part of Pakistan's strong batting line.

Javed Miandad played 124 Test matches, batting in 189 innings. His aggregate of 8,832 Test runs is a Pakistani record. Even though his test career spanned 17 years, he failed to make it into the top-most category of batsmen with test aggregates of over 10,000 runs.[1][12] Miandad's 23 centuries and 43 fifties were Pakistani national records, until they were broken by Inzamam-ul-Haq. Miandad's Test career batting average of 52.57 is currently 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.[13] He made his highest score of 280 not out against India.Pakistan went on to win that match by an innings and 119 runs.[14]

Miandad scored a Test century in his first match against India at the Iqbal Stadium, Faisalabad, in 1978.[15] With 154 not out in the match, he completed his first 1,000 Test runs at the age of 21 years and 126 days.[16] This was his 23rd innings and 14th match. He scored 2,000 Test runs in 42 innings for which he took 24 matches. He also scored centuries in the each innings of a Test match, 104 and 103 not out, against New Zealand at the Niaz Stadium, Hyderabad, in November 1984.[17] He scored six double centuries which are the most by a Pakistan batsman.[16]

In 1992, during the Pakistan tour to England, he scored 153 not out in the first Test at Edgbaston, Birmingham.[18] From then to his retirement he scored 578 runs, without scoring a century, at the average of 32.11 in 11 Tests. He made only four half-centuries during that period.[19]

One Day International career

Miandad made his One Day International debut against the West Indies at Edgbaston, Birmingham in the 1975 Cricket World Cup. Interestingly, his last ODI was also a World Cup match, and Pakistan lost the match. More, he scored 2 fours and 0 sixes and his strike rate was below 100 in both of his, first and last ODI innings.[20][21] His highest ODI score came against India at the Gaddafi Stadium in a match which Pakistan lost in 1982. He scored 119 not out off 77 balls with a strike rate of 154.54 in the match.[3][22]

Miandad is famously known for last ball six against India during the final of 1986 Austral-Asia Cup. In a great finale, the last over bowled by Chetan Sharma began with 11 runs required. Two wickets fell during the over with Pakistan needing 4 runs and India one wicket from the last ball. Miandad hit the ball, low full-toss from Sharma, for a six into the crowd.[23] Pakistan recorded their first win at a major tournament and Miandad finished his innings with 116 not out.[24][25] This is still considered as one of the most historic moments in the history of ODI cricket and he became a national hero.[3][26][27]

Javed Miandad is the first (and one of the only two, other being Sachin Tendulkar) player to have played in six World Cups, the first six, from 1975 to 1996.

Captaincy

After the retirement of Asif Iqbal following a loss of a series to India, 22 years old Miandad was made the captain of Pakistan.[28] The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) preferred him over the senior cricketers like Zaheer Abbas, Sarfraz Nawaz, Majid Khan and Wasim Bari who were still playing. He faced a little opposition but his first two series as captain, in 1981/82, included a win against Australia, and a credible 0–1 loss to the West Indies.[29][30] After a tough tour of Australia, oppostion to his captaincy gained strength, and his first captaincy period ended during the following home series against Sri Lanka.[31][32]

Coaching and commentary

As a coach, Javed Miandad guided Pakistan to test victories in the Asian Test Championship and in India during 1998–99 season, when Wasim Akram was captain. Miandad also later assisted with coaching Pakistani batsmen.[33]

Following this he was offered broadcasting and coaching positions in India.[34] Also in November 2010 it was being planned to give Miandad a role as a batting coach.[35] Miandad was again appointed as a batting consultant for the 2012 twenty20 World Cup in SriLanka

Personal life

Javed Miandad married Tahira Saigol in 1980. He has two sons and a daughter.His son Junaid Miandad is married to Mahrukh Ibrahim, daughter of Dawood Ibrahim, an Indian born underworld kingpin who currently resides in Pakistan.Miandad told the press that his son and Ibrahim's daughter met while studying together in the UK.[36] In 2011, Miandad recorded Naat for Geo TV; his "Sakoon Paya" was well received by his fans but he did not subsequently read any more Naat.[37].[3]

Downfall of subcontinent’s cricket

Recent events in cricket show that like other sports graph of cricket is also falling in Asian countries. Some years ago it was dream for any country to win series in the subcontinent on spinning tracks but recent defeats of Sri Lanka and now India have completely changed the course of cricket in the subcontinent.

Only last month Sri Lanka lost a series against Australia it was first win of Australian team on Sri Lankan soil. After retirement of key players specially spin wizard Muttiah Muralitharan Sri Lanka is struggling with new players. India also lost a Test series against England on its soil after 28 years. Jonathan Trott and Ian Bell completed England’s historic revival.

England captain Alastair Cook rated his side’s historic 2-1 Test series win in India every bit as special as their 2010-11 Ashes success in Australia. India is also struggling after retirement of Rahul Dravid, VVS Laxman and other key players. I believe that the introduction of T20, IPLs and commercialization of cricket in the subcontinent is the main cause of poor performance of young payers in Test cricket.

After playing a number of T20 matches players are not able to adjust themselves to the Test cricket environment. Famous innings of Hanif Mohammed, Sunil Gavaskar, Javed Miandad, Saeed Anwar, Arvinda de silva and Arjun Ranatunga have become dream for cricket fans in the subcontinent which is very unfortunate.

INDIES 75 GREATEST WORLD BATSMEN (TEST + ODI CRICKET COMBINED) OF ALL TIME (150+ yrs) !

Given that ckt-viewing has traditionally been one of the most occupying & engaging activities of the culture as well as pastime, of more than a handful of top nations of the world, for atleast the past ¾ century, that we know of via video footage, we at Indies landed up on an exciting idea of compiling a most comprehensive list of the Greatest 75 World Batsmen (Test + ODI cricket combined) Of All Time! This idea of a combined (Test + ODI) list seemed the most compelling to Indies, given it’s cricketing outlook/ideology of considering Test match cricket to essentially be 2 100 over-a—side games clubbed together & carrying forward from one to the other, at end of which one side OUGHT to win. And so players with a solid yet winning game, contributing towards win of their side, thru their careers, across eras, continents, continental playing conditions, & different legendary oppositions, in both the (longer) formats, mostly make the cut! PS. Also included in this greatest of all cricket lists, are those first-class batsmen, who despite less opportunities on intl circuit given political or other climes of times, stacked up such huge numbers, displaying such high skill sets, broke their way into this list, even via back door route. And fairly & squarely at that! And criteria of ranking, that also partly & most weightily reflects this aspect, broadly including factors like: 1. Technical skill set 2. Physical/Statistical contribution to the game, given their era & conditions of play. 3. Aesthetic cultural value to the connoisseur. & 4. Their contribution to the legacy of the game. And here it is! 1.Sachin Tendulkar 2.Don Bradman 3.Rahul Dravid 4.Mohammad Azharuddin 5.Brian Lara 6.Gary Sobers 7.Viv Richards 8.Wally Hammond 9.Mohinder Amarnath 10.Virender Sehwag 11.Zaheer Abbas 12.Vijay Merchant 13.

1992 Cricket World Cup

 At the 1992 World Cup Semi-final, having won the toss, New Zealand chose to bat first and ended with a total of 262 runs. Pakistan batted conservatively yet lost wickets at regular intervals. With the departure of Imran Khan and Saleem Malik shortly thereafter, Pakistan still required 115 runs at a rate of 7.67 runs per over with veteran Javed Miandad being the only known batsman remaining at the crease. A young Inzamam-ul-Haq, who had just turned 22 and was not a well-known player at the time, burst onto the international stage with a match-winning 60 off 37 balls. Once Inzamam got out, Pakistan required 36 runs from 30 balls, which wicketkeeper Moin Khan ended with a towering six over long off, followed by the winning boundary to midwicket. The match is seen as the emergence of Inzamam onto the international stage.

The 1992 Cricket World Cup in Australia and New Zealand marked Pakistan's first World Cup victory. It is remembered for the comeback Pakistan made after losing key players such as Waqar Younis and Saeed Anwar and being led by an injured captain Imran Khan. Pakistan lost 3 of their first 5 matches and were nearly eliminated in the first round of the tournament after being bowled out for 74 runs against England, until the match was declared as a "no result" due to rain. Imran Khan famously told the team to play as "cornered tigers", after which Pakistan won five successive matches, including, most famously, the semi-final against hosts New Zealand and the final against England.[15]

India and Pakistan’s World Cup rivalry started in 1992 and has been the competition to be careful for each 4 years since then.As the 2 giants of the cricketing world get able to sq. off another time, let’s have a look again on the gamers who’ve turned out to be heroes within the earlier six World Cup encounters between the 2 groups. Sachin Tendulkar Grasp Blaster Sachin Tendulkar, enjoying in his first World Cup, made an impression for India in his very first World Cup match towards Pakistan as he smashed 54 not out off 62 balls with three boundaries. The match was dotted with some spectacular performances from Ajay Jadeja and Sachin Tendulkar who scored 46 and 54* respectively to push India’s complete to 216/7. That Pakistan fell brief of their pursuit was largely due to Javed Miandad’s snail-paced 40 off 110 balls as they saved dropping wickets with a view to up the ante. Navjot Singh Sidhu Identified for his big-hitting and aggressive batting, Navjot Singh Sidhu was the star performer for India of their subsequent match towards Pakistan within the 1996 World Cup.

However the stress of the chase meant Pakistan saved dropping wickets at common intervals with Misbah-ul-Haq (56) enjoying a lone hand. What made the victory style even sweeter was that India now had reached the ultimate the place they beat Sri Lanka to carry the trophy after an extended wait of 28 years.
