Those test stats are slightly misleading. Not saying Miandad was a bad skipper but most of his test wins were at home barring the 2-1 win in England (5-test Rubber) in 1992 and the one-off test in NZ in 1992.
Imran’s figures would be more impressive but for his nakhrapan. He declined to lead Pakistan in two test series in the late 1980s because he felt the opposition was too weak (and he was not wrong either..) and he could not motivate himself to play. NZ visited Pakistan minus Hadlee and SLA were a weak test side back then. Pakistan white washed both NZ and SLA 3-0, both results gleefully accepted by Miandad!!
Aside from leading Pakistan to WC victory in 1992, Imran’s accomplishments include:
- Leading Pakistan to their first series win in India in 1986-7
- Leading Pakistan to their first test series win in England in 1987
- Not losing a series against Windies as captain. led Pakistan in three series, all of them drawn 1-1
