Yousuf gives props to Javed Miandad


Mohammad Yousuf styles Miandad as his inspiration. Its interestingly said, because Miandad and Yousuf's styles couldn't be more different. Javed Miandad was a struggler, a grafter, where shots seemed to come from sheer act of will or defiance, where Yousuf's seem to come from almost exquisite grace, where balls seem to vanish when they land over pitched outside off, or on his legs. Miandad's running between the wickets was frantic, while Yousuf's is impish and provocative. Regardless, its good to see that Yousuf gives props to one of Pakistan's true batting greats and geniuses.
