Talent Spotter : Mohammad Abbas

[TalentSpotterPk]

how is speed guys?

Even without watching I can tell you Medium fast with some deliveries in Fast medium range

 

[waleed88]

Love the bounce he has extracted from the pitch, and lovely shape away from the right hander..

 

[Mir jibran]

i hope this guy plays for next 10 years
he looks real deal
i hope he has a successful 10 year career
All the best Abbas

I like his attitude staring at the batsman he's a thinking bowler knows what he 's doing. very confident too.

Yes I like the look he gives after the delivery

 

[Sports_Psychologist]

Forget speed Look at the control ​and swing.. that's a great prospect... Hopefully he'll learn the art of trapping the batsman asap..

 

[Citizen4]

really hope he gets at least 5 wickets in the current match so he won't get dropped

sadly some PPers can't look beyond pace

 

[Madplayer]

Looked threatening with the new ball.

Look at the seam position, its almost perfect delivery after delivery

 

[Markhor]

Has bowled with control and has got the ball to swing both ways. Nice fluid action. Good start so far.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Look at the seam position, its almost perfect delivery after delivery

He's a trundler. It better be perfect.

 

[LordJames]

Just 5 overs in the first spell, lets see the second spell

As I said Medium Fast with few in the range of Fast medium.

First Test, Nerves, No Int standard fitness yet.

Can't be termed trundler.

 

[Stallion__]

His action and seam position reminds me of Bhuvneshwar Kumar

 

[Ellipsism]

Two recorded deliveries thus far, both at 129 km/h.

 

[Hamza78]

I'm really impress with Abbas his line is too Gud he can be a superstar in sha Allah people complain about peace who care about peace

This is the problem with Pak fans. A superstar? Let the guy settle.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

One of the few bowlers in Pak who can move the ball both ways.
There arent many.

 

[shah_1]

He ia a good bowler, will be averaging around 28-29. This is what we needed.

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

I take back what I said and salute Junaids theory of height relational to ability of a test match fast bowler.

He looks solid,seasoned and most importantly can take wickets.

 

[aloo paratha]

The ball to dismiss Singh was a beauty, nipping back in from around teh wicket, a dream delivery. Can swing the ball both ways, he's quality. If he can get his average pace from 130 to around 135 he could be really good.

 

[Square Drive]

Can't see [MENTION=141390]Ellipsism[/MENTION] anywhere?

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Amazing from Abbas on flattest of wicket.

Bowls at good channel, move the ball both ways, good at reverse swing and is intelligent.

If he can perform on these dead pitches he will do well in better conditions.

 

[aloo paratha]

Has a good yorker as well, this guy is good.

 

[aloo paratha]

Can't see [MENTION=141390]Ellipsism[/MENTION] anywhere?

[MENTION=141557]Chief Destroyer[/MENTION] Mohammad Irfan Jnr is better though right.

[MENTION=141557]Chief Destroyer[/MENTION] Mohammad Irfan Jnr is better though right.

Comfortably.

 

[Markhor]

Abbas is a must for the England tour next year. He'll be playing at Lord's and then up North here at Headingley.

Excited to see what Triple A attack of Amir, Ali and Abbas can do in early May conditions in England with Dukes ball.

 

[Square Drive]

Silencing all the haters once again. What a performer.

Trundler my foot.

Tough day for PP experts.

 

[Speedster777]

Great spell. His 5-fer got us in a winning position.

 

[Syed1]

I like how PP experts were writing him after the first test due to lack of pace. Wahab has pace but Abbas has been more effective in this one series than Wahab has been in his entire career.

I'd take a military medium trundler who picks up wickets over a "phasst" bowler who sprays it to all sides of the pitch.

 

[Square Drive]

If Abbas picks up 2-3 wickets in the 2nd innings, he should be given the man of the match without a doubt.

 

[hadi123]

Mohammad Abbas speaking on a TV show today:

"From my U-19 days I was told to target in-form batsmen and this is what I do nowadays which is to look for batsmen who are in form and deny them run scoring opportunities"

"I always try to provide support to proper batsmen when I am batting and try and build a partnership"

"I enjoy batting but the last year was not that great for me in batting"

"This will be my first time to work with Wasim Akram (at Multan Sultans) so it will be a good opportunity to learn something from the legend"

"Every player has a dream to play in front of his own supporters so this will be wish also that we (Multan Sultans) qualify for the play-offs and then play and perform in Pakistan"

"I have spent the most fun times in dressing room with Yasir Shah and Hasan Ali"

Mohammad Abbas and Sohail Khan: Leicestershire sign Pakistan duo


Leicestershire have signed Pakistan seam bowlers Mohammad Abbas and Sohail Khan to share the club's main overseas role for the 2018 season.

Abbas, 27, will play for the majority of the season, with 33-year-old Sohail filling in from late April to mid-June when the former could be part of Pakistan's tour to England.

Abbas has 23 wickets in five Test matches at at an average of 21.34

He was the top domestic wicket-taker in 2015-16 and 2016-17 in Pakistan.

The experienced Sohail has taken 432 first-class wickets at 24.37 apiece and claimed 13 wickets at 25.00 in two Test appearances when Pakistan last toured England in 2016.

Leicestershire head coach Paul Nixon said: "We have been looking for a quality fast bowler as our overseas professional and Mohammad Abbas ticks all of the boxes.

"His Test match record is different class, he is the new kid on the block, and I am delighted to secure his signature.

"It was vital that we secured high-class cover. Sohail Khan has a superb record both in red and white-ball cricket."
