I am sorry but your world cup wins doesn't haunt us anymore since we loose each time so we are haunted proof now. The six of chetan sharma was 1 and only in history so it will always haunt u indians till u guys live on this earth.
 
I believe that the 'Fatal Scoop' by :misbah haunts Pakistanis even more. Is it true?
 
:)) at some of the Indian spoil-sports on here.

"Oh look gais! They are discussing Miandad's six! Let's try and spoil their party by mentioning our achievements instead"

Pathetic.

Btw - I'm willing to put my house on this one.

25 years on from today (i.e. 19 April 2036) - Let's see how many "neutrals" still remember Javed at Sharjah, or how many remember the pointless examples you lot have come up with (Harbajhan? lol, T20 Misbah?).

Every Australian I know still remembers Javed's six.

I leave you to decide which has had the biggest impact.
 
lol.:D

As if who hogs Australian mind is the criteria of being better.
 
Anyone (and that includes mighty Australians) having even a bit of sense would rate WC games higher than anything else.
 
The discussion isn't around World Cup games, nor Test match games.

It is about the impact of one shot.

To compare a Harbajhan shot that I had completely forgotten about until now (and which was apparently played last year or early this year?) to something that is remembered 25 years on is idiotic.

Re-read my post - ask any neutral. Australians are neutrals and are the group of people I have access to since I'm living here. They all remember Javed.
 
Of course, I remember the Miandad shot. I watched it live and I remember being depressed the entire day. The whole of mumbai was depressed that day. But, if you are asking me what shot I remember the most, I remember the straight six over long off by Srikkanth of Azeem Hafeez in the 1985 World Championship Final and I will forever remember the six by Dhoni to win it all in the 2011 WC Final. To me those are the two biggest games I have seen India win. That is what I remember, not the Miandad six. Obviously as a Pakistan fan, maybe that is what you remember most although I would have thought it would be the moment you won your only World Cup. :)
 
India has the upper hand for last 4 or 5 years, we would come back up, only need a couple of batsmen, the bowling is till amazing and can cut through any lineup any time of the day,
 
I love Miandad SIx, I love Akram's six in Nehru CUp final against WIndies, I love, Akram's two wkts in 92 World cup, I love Akhtar hitting teenda on the helmet, teenda would have been history that day if not for the helmet, I love, Inzi hitting Teenda;s last ball for four to win the high scoring thriller, I love Afridi's 37 ball 100, I love Afridi's 45 ball 100 against INdia, I love 194 by Anwar against India in the final in India, I love the 1987 Bangalore win, where the umpires were also playing from India, I love the ball fro Akram that forced Srikanth to start wearing helmets, it crused his eye, I love Imran Khan bringing back Srikanth after the later felt he was given out wrongly by the umpire, only to be out the next ball, I ;love the hattrick Aqib took against India, I love the test match Pak won in 1999, and then I love the Akhtar's two ball burst taking out Dravid and teenda back to back, I love winning the 1997 Benson and Hedges, by taking on the mighty Windies in best of three finals, I love Imran Khan led team sqyuaring the series in the backyard of the lions WIndies when they were the best and no footage was allowed to be shown to the outside world, I love the Imran Khan hitting Bedi for towering sixes, I love the innings Inzi played in the SF of 92 WC,
 
actually it was not just the six, the impact that six made was the way Miandad turned impossible into possible, by single handedly taking th team from nowhere to the finsih line adn then crossing over. That was the impact, It was JAVED MIANDAD vs India,
 
GUESS what? I was in the ground and went through this roller coaster ride.........what a match
 
Why Tauseef the legend has not been mentioned in this thread ( or has he :P )

Why won't you forget them?

Again the mention of Australians. Are they be all and end all of everything related to cricket? Even if thats the case don't tell me they'd rate a WC game any lower.

I know and spoken to plenty of Australians too. For them, all ODIs apart from WC games are useless.
 
Kapil Dev , a real man who admits Pakistan were a better team during the Sharjah era.

He actually wants to revive Indo Pak cricket in Sharjah. Respect for him and shame on the guys who claim the matches were fixed.

Kapil calls for revival of Indo-Pak duels in UAE

“We lost most of the matches in that time and Pakistan won. That’s true and one shouldn’t forget that they were the better team,” recalled the former Indian skipper.

it wasnt just the shot itself.. it was the aftermath..Paksitan became a real team after that..we dominated India for a long time and that is where the scars are deep..the six was the catalyst..even in this era of a great indian side the head to heads have been pretty even..in those days we just needed to turn up!

I remember that match because it put us , not just on the map, but galvanised the team into a real cricketing power. Pakistan is where it is because of that six..it was that big!!

For someone to have followed cricket for so long, you are by far the most immature poster here.

Dunno about the current impact though. I never witnesses that six so was not impacted. Similarly none of the Indian players in this generation have witnessed that six. Seeing and feeling the impact live is something very different from reading about it 25 years after it happened.

BTW, people do remember good things over bad things so obviously you wont remember those loses to India while I vividly remember the 96 and the 2003 WC matches

But was the impact only because of the six or also because Pakistan had much superior and talented players as compared to India. BTW, seeing Pakistan's performance against India at their peak and against other countries the same time, I would have to partly agree to your point

I'm not even doing that. I mean I never compared Bhajji's shot to Miandad.

I only countered someone's point who said that (Miandad's 6) is perhaps the most pivotal point in Indo-Pak cricket history which obviously it isn't considering that WC games are always more important these games.

Also I think its you who is unduly getting worried about that 6.

As for Australians, they're not the only neutrals in this world. And even if they're, you've obviously not talked to each and every one of them.

Fair point I guess. The current batch of players, bar Sachin, wouldn't have really known what that era felt like.

But is it not a sign of the impact that an entire era of dominance is attributed to that single shot?
 
27 years ago today in cricketing history, Javed Miandad hit a last ball six off of Chetan Sharma's bowling in the Final of the Austral-Asia cup to secure a Pakistan win over India at Sharjah.

Having won the toss, Pakistan put India into bat. In the allotted 50 overs, India set Pakistan a target of 246 runs to win. During the course of the chase, Pakistan lost wickets at regular intervals with batsmen failing to convert starts.

With Javed Miandad at the crease, Pakistan always stood an outside chance of reaching the target, but the problem being loss of wickets at regular intervals with Miandad running out of partners.

At the end of the 49th over Pakistan required 11 runs off the final over with 3 wickets in hand. Chetan Sharma was to ball the final over of the match. Here is how ti played out:

49.1 - One run scored, Wasim Akram run out. Zulqarnain comes in to bat, Miandad has strike. 10 runs needed
49.2 - Miandad hits one through the midwicket for FOUR. 6 needed off 4 deliveries
49.3 - Only a single taken as Roger Binny saves an almost certain boundary. 5 off 3 needed. Zulqarnain now on strike.
49.4 - Zulqarnain goes for a big one and is bowled out. Miandad absolutely furious. Tauseef Ahmed is the new man in.
49.5 - Tauseef Ahmed takes a quick single and Azharuddin misses a close runout chance. 4 runs needed off the last ball with Miandad on strike.
49.6 - An attempted yorked from Chetan Sharma is misdirected into a full toss which Miandad helps over the square leg fence for a SIX

The best batsman from Pakistan.

Probably the only bat from the SC in those days who was equally good in ODIs and tests.
 
What a day that was!

Was stuck on Sharae Faisal as car was over heating - just got back in time and able to walk in watching my Mum telling me "buss akhree ball hai" ... The rest is history!

One of my earliest cricketing memories. I was too young at that time for cliches like "cricket is the winner" and all that ...took a long time to get over the disappointment (that's putting it mildly).
 
This was the best. the psychological impact of this six on india lasted for over a decade and a half. After this our winning streak in series ODI and tests began. I

India dominated that match to the very end . till that last ball India was in control. they took our batsmen out while javaid alone was standing. in full control until javed hits that full toss for a six and india was left to ponder " If they couldnt beat Pakistan from such a dominating position then when are they going to beat pakistan" . They got their confidence back when ganguly came to captain.

The match was one of the greatest matches ever and javed stood alone on the top. Ofcourse also showing how important middle order centuries are.
 
Sorry, that day doesnt exist for Indians. Its been removed from all history books. 1986 only had 364 days and April 19th followed April 16 that day
 
Sadly I didn't exist at that time, does anyone have the full highlights
 
Why ony this six gets so much imporatance? :13:

We have seen so many last ball 6 finishes later:
Rajesh Chauhan six off Saqlain in Karachi.
Bhajji six off Amir in Asia cup.

Probably because.....

1. It was the first ever?

2. And only a six could have done the job on Javed Miandad´s part?

3. And was off the last ball, unlike that of Harbhajan Singh?

:13:....
 
One of the most memorable moments in Indo-Pak cricketing history (whether we Indians like it or not).
 
These days hitting a six off the last ball is not that uncommon, but in 1986 it was a huge thing and it demoralized lot of indian fans like me then.

Also a Pak-Ind final.

India had the wood over us in ODIs prior to that. I still remember the ease with which they beat us in Australia only the year previous to this match.

And we hadn't won a ODI tournament before.

India led Pakistan 8-7 before this Sharjah match. After four years, India trailed 10-21. (2-14 in the four year period following this match)
 
Yaad dilana 'jaroori' that? :(

I still remember where I was, huddled in front of a black and white TV screen.
 
This statistic shows just how great Javed Miandad was at rotating the strike and at running between the wickets. Only 3 fours and 3 sixes in that great innings but he still managed to maintain a strike-rate of over 100 (116 from 114 balls).
 
This get mentioned because it was the heaviest blow ever given by Pakistan to India. Ab kabi WC ke knock out match main to haraya nai fir Sharjah cup ke matches ka hi record rakhna padta hai dil behalane ke liye.

Now Indians OTOH have 96 Bangalore, 2003 Centurion, 2011 Mohali and add the T20 ones, then who will bother about those lullo matches where Aamir was hit for a 6 by Bhaji, 6 by Chauhan or the boundary by Kanitkar.

My car was heating up but I reached home

Saw my Mum sitting on the prayer mat - then looked at the screen to see Miandad hit the ball!
 
I feel Miandad could have done so much more for Pakistan cricket since his retirement.

Sadly for a number of reasons he's not been of much use to Pakistan cricket since he stopped playing, despite earning a lot of rupees.
 
Sadly Miandad has become obsessed with the rupee since retiring.

A hero when he played, but very money orientated these days.
 
I remember that game. I can rerun the seconds of that last ball, each second flickering like a playing card in my head. It may well be my bitterest memory of a caravan of bitter-sweet cricketing memories.

But that's what makes for a full canvas for a sports fan. Where would life be without loss to give more meaning to gain, where what would cricket be without defeat to make the wins sweeter.

Not a bad knock in 1986, Misbah does it repeatedly in 2014!! 245 was very much a defensible score back then, think 10-20% lesser scores compared to today. An anchor knock in ODI was a sought after thing then, Srikkanth and Gavaskar nearly took India to win through that brilliant partnership though Miandad had the last laugh.

The match did not lead India into darkness per se, Pakistan was clearly a better team with the arrival of Akram and Younis. This six is very much hyped I guess, no doubt Indians were mightily disappointed then (I watch the match live too), but India's subsequent defeats were mainly due to Pakistan's superior skills with the ball. Even with bat, they were nearly equal during that period - Pakistan always got charged up while playing India, and they were pretty confident in their abilities to beat India - the combination of Pakistan's superiority together with their confidence meant India always struggled to win for many years.

Every India-Pakistan match is important yeah World Cup matches hold greater significance but all those games in Sharjah were still prestigious games e 90s were the peak years of ODI cricket. There was no such phrase as JAMODI or people labelling ODIs as boring it was the most exciting format especially for SC fans. Tendulkars ODI legacy was enhanced by his centuries in the Desert the Sharjah classics against the Aussies. I can bet you Indians in the 90s didnt just shrug off the Sharjah defeats just because they werent WC games.

That desert storm match wasnt important .... Tendulkar made it memorable (despite India losing that match ... think about it for a moment !! ) ... just as JM made the 86 Aus-Asia final memorable. Had India lost that match by a huge margin nobody would care. Just as nobody remembers Pak losing the previous final in Sharjah by a huge margin to India.

The Miandad final is remembered because after it there was an unprecedented domination by Pakistan in Indo-Pak contests after the match. Before that India did have the upper hand as far as ODIs goes. Although i agree that wasnt the sole reason as it coincided with the emergence of Pakistans greatest ODI team especially in the 90s

The importance of this match was that it was our first ever ODI tournament win.

Also, India who were the reigning world champions had the wood over us in ODIs up until that match.

You Feel sorry for Chetan Sharma .... watching the video.....spoke from his heart.....
no false sour grapes or stupid excuses.....gave credit to Javed.....suffered lot of humiliation
for 2 and half months in India.....must have been devastated......
 
In fact that six was beginning of the domination of Pakistan over India for almost a decade
Till Ganguly came along as captain and showed lot of aggression.....against all teams including Pakistan
then the world cup quarter finals in South Africa.....where the tide again turned in favor of Indian domination
over Pakistan.... after that Sachin onslaught.....till day Pakistan havent recovered ..... and are always the second favorite
between Indo Pak games.....

You will need a Javed Miandad to happen again to turn it again in your favor.....we will wait for that day.....

It's not that one sided you know from 96 to 2003 (when Wasim and Waqar retired) Pakistan have won more matches. From 2003-2015 India have just won 2 more ODIs against Pak. It seems one sided but it's really not. India haven't dominated at all even after Ganguly. Infact during Ganguly's captaincy Pakistan won more matches against India. Only when Dhoni came did the tide changed a little to India's favour. But India never "DOMINATED" after this match although they improved alot

I thought too that India must have dominated against Pak until somebody pointed out that the W-L over the past 10 years is almost the same
 
India and Pakistan haven't played a lot each other either in the last decade or so... Otherwise India would have clearly dominated Pakistan. Pakistan could balance out on some occasions (Asia Cup, last tour to India) because there was certain dip in energy for India and lift of energy for Pakistan. Otherwise if they had played a lot more (especially in the last 3-4 years or so especially after the exit of Akther, Akram, etc and when India's field improved a lot), I am sure India would have won more matches to prove the dominance. I feel India and Pakistan should play at least in Canada (Sahara Cup memories :) )
