Javed Miandad

Miandad's six off the last ball from Chetan Sharma to beat India in the 1986 Austral-Asia Cup final at Sharjah, with four needed, is the founding legend of one-day finishing. It was not a fluke: he was a master of manipulating the field and running between the wickets, and he regularly saw chases home for Pakistan through the 1980s. He made the street-smart finisher a role.
