Oh I blew it.. lol.

Miandad, the legend, one of the best things to happen with Pakistan.

What a talent. I think even we dont get anyone with the technique that he had, if we only get the fighting spirit, that’ll itself be huge. Its so unfortunate we didnt get anyone like him again.

Re: How well do you know Javed Miandad?

Legend turned 60…

It was always great to watch him play, either he is batting or annoying the batsmen from slip position or go after Dennis Lilly…

Always treat to watch…

OPTIMISTA DAY AGO
Javed Miandad was selected when A.H. Kardar was chairman of selection committee and Air-Martial Nur Khan was the chairman of PCCB. In the present scenario with Inzimam most probably Javed Miandad would never have played for Pakistan like many brilliant cricketers from Karachi. The sole representative of this city Karachi in current Pakistan team is Sarfaraz Ahmad. How many knows that despite being the best wicket-keeper batsman he was never considered for selection. He was called in an emergency when all Akmal brothers were injured and Zulqarnain Haider has gone to England because of a rift with the board. Sarfaraz played a match winning innings and since then he has been regularly performing. Waqar Younus and Misbah tried to get rid of him during the WC 2015 by introducing 20 lbs. over weight Nasir Jamshed who scored 4 runs in 4 innings. Later on public and media pressure Waqar sent Sarfaraz to the lion’s den as an opener against South Africa. he won two man of the match .

The difference was kardar and nur khan had integrity which shehryar khan (someone, pleaze whip him 100 times for his india this, india that 24/7) and penti puncture sethi.

Forget junaid, why wasn’t irfan khan not “discovered” in his twenties? The team has been selected on whoever from any pind in punjab can join instead of on merit. Khatmal brothers for god knows what naiki were selected consistently even when afridi was dropped (immature player himself) when there are youtube playlists of kamran khatmal’s legendary wicketkeeping. Whether you do quota system in cricket or generally everywhere in Pakistan, you only get $hit in your face. No one can come and argue that fact with me.
