I suspect a single delivery from a military medium bowler from Karnataka called Venkatesh Prasad may have had something to do with iti was just watching him as commentator today and boy he looked so old for his age. I mean how old is he 40 at the most. and how did he get bald so quick with in a matter of 3 or 4 years?
Oh! So you didnt see Venkatesh Prasad put balm on the permanent scar Miandad gave Indian cricket at Sharjah ??but didn't aamir and saeed anwar blasted prasad and srinath all the time as openers in the 90's
Which one the one that ended his innings or the six ?? Kidding.That must be the worst shot I have ever seen.
Thank you so much for reminding me of that match.Oh! So you didnt see Venkatesh Prasad put balm on the permanent scar Miandad gave Indian cricket at Sharjah ??
Watch this
Pakistan were cruising on the way to another humiliating defeat for India and this time at home in Bangalore and in no less than a World Cup Quarter Final on 9th March 1996. Pakistan were making easy work of the task of chasing India's 287. Anwar and Aamir had slammed 84 for the first wicket in a dozen or so overs when Anwar fell for 48 in 32 balls.
Aamir continued with Ijaz Ahmed reaching his fifty (55 in 46 balls) with a six off Venkatesh Prasad. The rest is history and so is the match as Pakistan finally slid from 236 for 5 to 248 all out.

Aamer has form for such a thing, did it repeatedly to South Africa's Steven Jack in the Mandela Trophy in 1995, after leading a brilliant counter attack against the South Africa 'pace' attack. Red head Jack was visibly fuming with Sohail but South Africa like India had the last laugh as Sohail was run out and they eventually won the game.As for Sohail and THAT game, it's got to be one of the most bone-headed, stupid act in the history of Pak cricket.
I can fully understand. But do you have any idea what happened to us when Miandad hit that last ball six ?Thank you so much for reminding me of that match.
I still remember my body going numb when we lost that match. I failed my maths final the next morning.
