OTD: When Javed Miandad scored his fifth Test double century against Australia in Karachi

Hindustan Times  

On September 16, 1988, Javed Miandad produced one of his greatest batting display in Test cricket, scoring a sublime 211 against Australia in Karachi. Miandad’s double century—his fifth in Test cricket—was the backbone of Pakistan’s first-innings total of 469 for 9 declared. Dominating show Australia’s bowlers, including Bruce Reid, did manage early breakthroughs, but it was Miandad’s 196-run partnership with Shoaib Mohammad that set the platform for Pakistan. Miandad’s ability to lead from the front and his partnership with Pakistan’s spinners dismantled the Australian team, setting a tone for the series.
