From Javed Miandad's audacious bullying of Essex, to a gritty Nasser Hussain ton, Rob Bagchi and Rob Smyth, writing in the Guardian, pick half a dozen knocks to savour.
In a sense, all batsmen are doomed. They walk to the crease knowing that their innings is finite, and that it could end at any moment. It takes a very special person to relish that situation, but that's how Javed Miandad played. He had the mentality of a fugitive, content to live on his wits no matter how great the risks. In fact, he needed those risks in order to thrive.
