During the third Test between New Zealand and Pakistan in 1985 Pakistan captain, Javed Miandad got involved in a heated discussion with the on-field umpire. The series was evenly poised at 1-1 and the Pakistani team needed just two wickets to win the series.

Young Pakistani pacer Wasim Akram bowled a bouncer in the penultimate ball of the afternoon session and was warned by the umpire. The Pakistani captain was very upset with this and went up to talk about the issue.

Miandad was furious with the decision and had an altercation with the umpire as he continuously tried to make a point that bouncers are a part of the game. He looked furious and asked Akram to bowl a bouncer again in the last ball of the session.
