Shahryar Khan21-Aug-2001Javed Miandad’s tenure as a short-term batting coach is now at closingstage. This world class Pakistani came here to give his professionalexpertise over batting to the local boys including the National side thattakes on Pakistan on August 29 in Multan. Miandad, one of the all timegreats, has captivated everyone by his charming personality and cordiality.The players from the National squad acknowledged that it would have been alot better if they could get Miandad earlier.The important thing is that Miandad did not try to alter their stance orstyle. Actually he made an effort to put his 25-year experience across theplayers’ minds and gave them the confidence. He taught them how to facerelatively stronger opponents without being nervous. Besides that he spottedevery batsman’s strengths and limitations and let him be conscious of those.He did not see all the matches of Bangladesh except some sessions in theTest against India." You have to play a good number of International matches and then you thinkabout the improvements. An improvement in cricket is only a match relatedfact. Bangladesh is still a baby side with a lot of promising players. Ihave found that they have quality and I believe their quality will flourish.They will play plenty of matches and it’s only then they are going to learnwhich things to do and which not. The process will take time and you have towait for it", said Miandad.He found every Bangladeshi batsman having one or more technical flaws. Heasked them to change a few things in their technique only if they feltcomfortable with those. Javed says:" In fact no one is impeccable not even me. Most of the batsmen around theworld have one or two technical defects. The more they are playing withother nations the better they are learning about how to cover those defects.Some technical defects are very usual to some batsmen since they startedplaying cricket and they are getting runs despite having those."Besides beefing up the National squad with theoretical advices, Javed hasraised their moral courage too. All the fourteen members were seen moreconfident than ever. Their wistful voices echoed a single line " Only if wegot Javed Bhai earlier!"The National team have rounded off its training sessions and Javed is givingattention to the Bangladesh-A and Under-19 squads in BKSP.
