Panjabi[edit]

Javed Miandad is a full blood Panjabi. He is famous for giving TV and Radio interviews in pure Panjabi. Yet there is no mention of his Panjabi background over here. He has been on record many times giving praise to his Panjabi heritage


Javed Miandad holds the record of part-taking in six World Cup tournaments. -Pramod Kumar

Javed Miandad was one of the finest Cricket players Pakistan ever produced. He was known for his unorthodox style of batting, mentality of a street fighter and superb running between the wickets. He played many memorable innings for Pakistan including the one in which he hit an unforgetable SIX off the last ball of the match to win the first Australasia Cup on April 18, 1986 in Sharjah.

Although he is rated the best Vice Capatin Pakistan ever had his Capataincy record is mediocre. He has also coached Pakistan and Bangladesh national teams. - Rizwan Hasnie

Did he ever coach Bangladesh ? I am under the impression that Mohsin Kamal is the only Pakistani to coach Bangladesh. Tintin 05:25, 29 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Npov tag[edit]

I put the Npov tag here. Saying he changed the face of Cricket, or he was simply out among the greatest seems more like an opinion than a fact to me. Tony the Marine

Javed Miandad's captaincy record is second to none. From 34 matches as captain he has fourteen wins and only six losses. Compared with Imran Khan, that is a superb record, considering he has 14 wins from 48 matches and 8 losses. -Anonymous

Maybe, changed the face of pakistani cricket but not Cricket in general. -Anon he holds the records of most double-hundreds for pakistan-syed yasir ali

he daughter in wedded to the son of notorious gangster Dawood Ibrahim. It has brought Javed Miandad great shame that he is a money hungry guy who has established relations with terrorists and mafia

Since the "face of cricket" comment you mention is not there I have removed the NPOV tag. The comment there at the moment about him being regarded as "Pakistan's greatest batsmen" I think we can agree is justified. Please keep the comments flowing and try to add more info. Thanks.

Fact check[edit]

"Javed Miandad came in to bat at number 3, with the score at 39 for 2 wickets" - Oh no he didn't. I don't know what the score was when he came in but if he did indeed come in at number 3 it wasn't anything for 2.

Corrected, as per http://www.cricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/1980S/1985-86/OD_TOURNEYS/AA/IND_PAK_AA_ODI-FINAL_18APR1986.html he came in at number 4.

"...he is one of only two batsmen in cricket history, the other being Herbert Sutcliffe, to maintain an average of above 50 throughout a career of more than 20 innings."

Who the hell wrote this? There would have to be more than twenty batsmen who have achieved this feat. I could name more than five from Australia alone who have done it - Ricky Ponting, Matthew Hayden, Allan Border, Steve Waugh, Greg Chappell, and, oh, DONALD BRADMAN! Jesus Christ...

The key phrase is "throughout their career". Miandad scored 163 in his very first innings and his career average never dropped below 50. Bradman started off with 18 & 1 in his first Test and it was four or five innings before it went above 50. Likewise for the others. Tintin (talk) 10:00, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Javed is the man who is the role model through outin his career. every time he batted for the team not for his records, he saved the team with his bat and with his fielding every tiem. at many times when others were going into the filed only for themself but hewent for the team and for the Pakistan.(Tariq Javed) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.154.8.27 (talk) 15:11, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dude, are u crazy, what do u mean by others going out to play for themselves, while Javed played for the team. Your comments are ridiculous. Circumcised (talk) 23:04, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article seems a little watered-down; Javed is well-known for not backing down from argumants and there have been controversies throughout his career... Why no mention of them at all? Alanobrien (talk) 17:07, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Grammar[edit]

Can somebody please fix the grammatical errors persistant throughout this article. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Showman16 (talk • contribs) 08:29, 13 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
