Inzamam speaking about Javed Miandad:
"Javed Miandad was my hero around the time I wanted to come into the Pakistan team"
"The quality that helped Javed Miandad rise to the top was that he had immense belief in himself"
"Mushtaq Mohammad told me that when Miandad was new on the scene when we went to Australia; In those days they used to have bowlers like Lillee, Thompson, Hogg and Lawson who were the types of bowlers where batsmen would stay awake at night thinking about the time they had to face these bowlers next morning"
"Where the better batsmen were worried about batting at the top positions, Javed Miandad would say send me in earlier, I will be able to play"
"He didnt score that well but he had this approach where he would take on any bowler, argue with them and mess them up"
"If you look at Miandad's career, you will see that he would mess with every great bowler he played against"
"Its usually the bowler who goes after the batsman so that he gets flustered and plays a bad shot but it was opposite for Javed - he would deliberately tease the bowlers so that they would attack him; Javed Miandad used to love playing against a challenge"
"The bigger the series, the more Javed Miandad's skills would be displayed and he would raise his level of performance"
"It is said that side of Javed Miandad's chest had turned red after being hit so many times during his innings of 114 but he had not stepped away from the bowling"
"His quality was that he would never let on that he was in trouble and he would dominate the bowlers; Its not that he would be hitting 4s and 6s - he would play good cricketing shots but all the time would tease the bowlers with his talk"
"If someone says to Javed Miandad - come and bat now, he will say yes I will do it"
"He was our coach on tour of New Zealand and we had some injuries to our batsmen and it was difficult to get replacements from Pakistan at short notice; Javed Miandad came to me and said there is one batsman who is completely ready to play if you are short of players - I asked him who is that? He said, I am ready"
"I told him, look at the batting conditions and you havent played for a long time, how will you cope? He said dont worry about me, I will manage well"
"I told him you will need to bat in the nets, and soon he was standing there with pads on"
"I have never seen anyone describe/teach batting like Javed Miandad used to do"
"Javed Miandad wasnt interested in teaching batting techniques but he would tell you how to score runs"
"All great players I have seen like Saeed Anwar, none of them would be bothered about technique but would be looking to score"
"When Zaheer and Javed Miandad would go on tour, coaches from county teams would come and ask them to check the issues with their batsmen"
