Description:
Javed Miandad took the cricket world by
storm when he burst onto the international
scene in 1976-77. Loud yet contemplative,
fiercely defiant, tenacious, and singularly
focused on success, he captured the popular
imagination like no other Pakistani batsman.
For nearly two decades, he dominated the
batting scene for his country, compiling one
of the game's greatest batting resumes. His
feats brought Pakistan into a golden age in
its cricketing history when the team started
winning overseas and became recognized
as one of the best in the world. In the twilight
of his career, when many had written him
off, Miandad produced a series of crucial
batting performances in the 1992 World Cup
that eventually saw Pakistan take the title
for the first time. He later returned to
international cricket as the national coach
and guided Pakistan to famous Test victories
in India.

Despite his achievements, Miandad never
lacked for critics. Always enigmatic, often
misunderstood, he was never far from
controversy. In this riveting autobiography,
written in the same no-nonsense style with
which he batted, Javed Miandad finally
speaks out.
From the streets of Karachi to the great
Test centres of the world, from schoolboy
wonder to batting legend and international
hero, from an enthusiastic rookie to the
architect of a nation's cricketing fortunes-
here is the Miandad story...in his own words.
