Mohammad Abbas at a presser after Day 1 of the Adelaide Test:
"Ups and downs happen, the start was very good for me. After that, I got injured vs NZ and it took a while for me to recover. I am bowling and getting practice, insha'Allah I will get my rhythm back soon"
"It was a tough day, in your own conditions you know which areas to bowl in. Coming here, we practiced a lot but I didn't get assistance from the pitch. I gave it my all and did hard work, but they were confident and played me well as well"
"I bowled some maidens, we tried to bowl in partnerships but we couldn't manage to do what we wanted. In the last match also they were high on confidence as they made runs"
"If we were bowling maidens from one end, the other end wasn't doing the same. They played well. We will try to do well in the morning"
"I am not happy with my own performance because I am thought of as a main bowler. When you play Test cricket after 10 months, there is a bit of difference and it takes some time to get rhythm back"
"It was the first day, the match isn't over yet. We will try to do well in the morning tomorrow"
"As professionals, we have to find a way on any pitch. As batsmen have partnerships, bowlers do the same and we tried to do that but it couldn't happen"
"It's a new management, they played the combination that they thought was best for the first Test, it didn't make much difference for me. I kept up my hard work and will keep doing that"
"Having the wicket-keeper stand up to the stumps is also part of the plan. If the batsman is struggling on my bowling, he stands out of his crease a little, so we planned this, like we also did in UAE. But the pitch didn't give much assistance"
